#200110

In order to use PT Sans in, for example, main_menu I edited assets.xml per http://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-faqs/embed-font#google-font-t3

but upon loading the site http://globalprintmonitor.net/ I get:

Warning

Failed loading XML file
/var/www/vhosts/globalprintmonitor.info/httpdocs/j33/templates/ja_teline_iv_t3/etc/assets.xml
Opening and ending tag mismatch: file line 10 and stylesheets
Opening and ending tag mismatch: stylesheets line 8 and assets
Premature end of data in tag assets line 2

The edit I did is below. I don’t see what is wrong.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?><assets> <scripts> <file>js/jquery.easing.1.3.js</file> <file>js/script.js</file> </scripts>
<stylesheets> <file>fonts/arialnarrow/arialnarrowbold.css</file> <file>http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans‘ rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’> </stylesheets></assets>

Update: I think I fixed it (missing </file>) but being on Chrome + Mac I am not sure 🙂 At least the error message has gone. However, from the screen shots below it looks like PT Sans is not displaying on PC, but OK on Mac. ?? What am I missing?

to :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<assets>
<scripts>

Thanks, Adam. The PT Sans font now seems to work on Mac, PC and Android Nexus 7 but the Ticker max characters count seems to work best on Mac. Why might it fail on PC? Why a character count rather than a pixel count when the available space limit is defined in template in pixels?

Hi,

Could you please recheck the font in this page first ? The font might looks different depend on various browser and normally, they always look better in Mac due to browser engine.

Why does the Ticker module only use about 70% of the theoretical space before it bounces out of the box? Should calculate pixels used, not characters?

Hi,

Please open file root_folder/templates/ja_teline_iv_t3/css/custom.css (if you don’t have this file, just create a new one) then add this code :

div.ja-headlines {
width: auto !important;
margin-left: 20px;
display: block;
}
.ja-healineswrap em {
position: absolute;
}

Save your file and recheck.

Hi Marvin,

assets.xml is in the templates folder. For example: yoursite.com /templates/ja_teline_iv_t3/etc/assets.xml

more info: http://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-faqs/embed-font#google-font-t3

Good luck.

Tim

Hi Adam,

If I put a curly bracket } between the .t3-header entry and the div.ja-headlines{ entry as normal(?) it freezes the ticker. Any idea why? Below is as entered in custom.css and it works.

Best, Tim

}
.t3-header {
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 10px;

div.ja-headlines {
width: auto !important;
margin-left: 20px;
display: block;
}
.ja-healineswrap em {
position: absolute;
}
