Uploading own fonts

Hi,
I have the same solution and I am using it in my LayersliderWP,
I had no problem adding the font or using it but the font takes 2-3 seconds before it is loaded, which is quite disturbing.
I tried using cache to fix it but i did not help, any tips of how I can speed up the font loading?

Thank you in advanced.

Hi Rikard!
I have now uploaded the font to my site in a font folder as suggested in this http://justcreative.com/2013/01/22/how-to-use-custom-fonts-with-font-face-on-wordpress/
and added this in the layout.css file

@font-face {
font-family: ‘din-regularitalic’;
src: url(‘../fonts/din-regularitalic-webfont.woff2’) format(‘woff2’),
url(‘../fonts/din-regularitalic-webfont.woff’) format(‘woff’);
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

it still takes the website a few sconds to lead the font on the first slide, what can I do to improve the loading time?
Thank you in advance.

have you tried to implement it with standard 400 ?
because google did not allow to get rid of that marked 400er field. Maybe it is necessary:

add_filter( 'avf_google_heading_font',  'avia_add_heading_font');
function avia_add_heading_font($fonts)
{
$fonts['Quicksand'] = 'Quicksand:300,400,700';
return $fonts;
}

add_filter( 'avf_google_content_font',  'avia_add_content_font');
function avia_add_content_font($fonts)
{
$fonts['Quicksand'] = 'Quicksand:300,400,700';
return $fonts;
}

@Victoria : yes it seem to be right – but this was the way in documentation for activating for headings and for textfields.
btw: the bold is implemented in the 700 – isn’t it – so there might be a mismatch if you are defining a quicksand bold for 300, 700
and a quicksand too for 300, 700
