Hello

I am trying to follow this guide:
https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-faqs/embed-font
section: #4: compile LESS to CSS

From what I understand the .LESS files to change are here:
/templates/purity_iii/less

For example there are the files variables.less and joomla.less

After I change the above files and compile them, where are the resulting .CSS files placed?

Hi
The resulting css will be in the /css/ folder you can see the changes in template.css,bootstrap.css files and other files depends on the changes .

I suggest you to use custom.css file to override the template css files.

Regards

Do you mean this folder ?
/templates/purity_iii/local/css

I do see there updated css files, when I compile less to css..

Yes, I understand this and I do use the custom.css for most of the customizations. However I want to fully understand how to use the purityIII files and features, as I am reading the tutorials.

Hello

Can you please confirm that the compiled .CSS files will go to the /templates/purity_iii/local/css folder? The documentation says where the LESS files are, but does not say where the CSS files go.

Hi
When u compile less to css files created in the local folder and template use them.
So the original css will not be affected and local folder is work as an override.
