Custom font not taken into effect for webpage text and navigation

mberwing

Hello,

we are using latest version of JA Seven Template Quickstart 1.1.0

In backend Template Settings - Site Settings - Typography - we have initially turned on
Google font and selected as follows:

Font Family: Alata
Heading: Font Family: Lobster Two
Navigation: Font Family: Alata

So far so good. Our site is looking as we want!

But according to the german laws and the strict data protection rules with GDPR,
we have been strongly advised to turn of Google fonts and to rather store the fonts locally
on our server as otherwise the site visitors IP will be transfered to Google when fonts are
being loaded from Google servers.

Therefore we have downloaded the same fonts to a subdirectory 'fonts/'
and used the 'Custom Fonts' in Templates Fonts Manager
and used 'Font CSS URL' to add the fonts.

This worked fine and we can see the fonts being listed in Font Manager
and have selected them accordingly in same way we did before but now with
Google Fonts turned off:

Font Family: Alata
Heading: Font Family: Lobster Two
Navigation: Font Family: Alata

But when we now check the site only the font for section 'heading' has been taken into
consideration while for the general webpage text and navigation there is still a seeded
standard font.

Interestingly when we check the website preview within the Template Style and Site Settings, we
can see the correct font 'Alata'

Is this a bug in the Template/Code ?
Why it is not working in same way as with Google Fonts enabled ?

Regards
Markus

mberwing Hi

You can setup Google fonts as you wish and try with JA Fonts component - it will help your site to load Google fonts locally: https://www.joomlart.com/joomla/extensions/ja-font-component

Hi saguaros,

alright...thanks for the info.
I have downloaded the component and plugin and followed the instructions and scanned our website's fonts
and waited for the process complete. All is fine and I am going to proceed from here and will update you again

Hi Saguaros,

I completed my tests and checked on different sites but it is unfortunately not working !

I have installed JA Fonts and enabled the plugin and followed the instructions and scanned our website's fonts
and waited for the process complete. The fonts have been imported.
I then went back to template style and Site Settings -> Typography
I turned off Google Fonts and then selected the font which was previously downloaded by JA Fonts for Font Family, Heading and Navigation (in my case font 'Montserrat' and saved it.
The font is being changed on the 'preview screen' on the style configuration screen in backend - but it is not working on the real webpage !

See https://test.kulturforum-freiburg.info

I have updated the login credentials for Joomla webpage I performed my tests - and the issue happens on all other sites as well. So there is still a problem.

Can you check please.

Thanks and regards
Markus

mberwing Hi

You don't need to turn off the Google font, just keep it turn ON and inside JA Font component, you can scan + download fonts, it will then help to load it locally.

It should be working fine now.

Kindly check.

Hi,
thanks a lot.
I was in believe that I need to turn off Google fonts as well so that there is really no connection to Google.
If this is not needed then I am fine and issue is fixed.
Cheers
Markus
