I think you only need to edit that file, especially line 38
[PHP]$gfonts = array(‘Cantarell’,’Coda’, ‘Cardo’, ‘Crimson’, ‘Droid Sans’, ‘Droid Sans Mono’, ‘Droid Serif’, ‘IM Fell’, ‘Inconsolata’, ‘Josefin Sans Std Light’, ‘Lobster’, ‘Molengo’, ‘Nobile’, ‘OFL Sorts Mill Goudy TT’, ‘Old Standard TT’, ‘Reenie Beanie’, ‘Tangerine’, ‘Vollkorn’, ‘Yanone Kaffeesatz’);
[/PHP]
just add your desired font into that array

I wasn’t sure if another file needed to be edited for the new choices to show in the Template Manager area under Profiles – where you select the Google font to be used….

Hi thatcomputerdude,

If you want to add more Google Fonts.
Please edit variable $gfont_group(default in line 37) in file pluginssystemjat3coreelementgfonts.php
Eg: $gfont_group = array (‘latin’=>array(‘Lobster’));
The font name ‘Lobster’ will be showed in tab Profiles of Template Manager.

Best Regards.

Is there any plan to make this any easier, or is it not intended as an end-user feature?

When google release new fonts, we will update the font list to our framework. You should alway keep your framework up to date to have the full list of google fonts.

hello,
there are lots of new google Fonts and T3 frameworks is not updated, is planned for soon?

Can we not imagine a dynamic list that would be updated via google or JoomlArt automatically?

thanks,

The method listed by nghiatd no longer appears to be valid. Can anyone please explain how to add more fonts to the Google Fonts list in the T3 framework?

This worked perfectly for JA Bistro. with just a few strokes I added Playball and changed Lobster font to Playball.. Easy peasy.

I did have to refresh the site after I added the item to the code. It took a few minutes for my server to update.

Well I think in the latest version of T3 the only thing you have to do is to search in Google Fonts what font you like to use and then just add it in the pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultetcgfonts.xml like you see on it. Then you will be able to see it in the T3 Template Manager and select it.

<font>Slackey</font>
<font>Sunshiney</font>
<font>Unkempt</font>
<font>Walter Turncoat<font>
</group>

And I found that there is a mistake in the default code on gfonts.xml at the end that it doesn’t let you add fonts in “latin” group. As you see in the “Walter Turncoat” row (the last one) the font tag is not closed . It is <font> but it should be </font>. It’s something that someone of the Joomlart Team should fix I think.

Anyway that works for me! Try it and let me know. Unless I am too late and you already did it! Trying to help anyway! Have a great new year 2012!

We no longer add more Google web font in our templates, as this will make the site heavily to load. However, you can simply change the font to what you like by going to the back-end of your website:
Extensions –> Template Manager —> Template Manager: Edit Style
—> Profiles —> Google Font API Settings (you can hover on this tab for more detail)

Edit the font in Font family with the Google font name that you like. You can search here for your favorite font (Google Web Fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts)
🙂 You will get your website with the new font. Enjoy!
