Hello All,
I am busy prepping the next release of the Fordson theme and need your help. A brand new feature will be a drop-down for Google Fonts. If you would like a certain font from the list at google please let me know before the end of the week.
Please reply with the link to the font such as " https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Krona+One "
I'll be checking back here and try to include all the fonts in the drop-down as long as it doesn't get to be too long of a list!
Hi Chris,
In the past (flexibase) I've done this kind of thing as a free text entry for the font name and another one for the weights/styles where needed, then used that to construct the URL (and the font-family css rule) so that the user - or at least the site administrator as it is a theme setting - can choose any Google font they wanted to and if the font lists (or design tastes) change, I wouldn't have to update the theme every time.
I haven't tried it with Boost yet, but I think it worked quite well in Flexibase
https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#a_quick_example
This would provide the ultimate in flexibility but could also cause some issues if it isn't put in the text field correctly. I think I had something similar in Pioneer but it was clunky.
I am stumped on how to add the second part of the font such as serif, sans-serif, cursive, monospace, etc.
Any ideas on this?
If you are providing them as a drop down list, then you could use a keyed array as you will know all the variables
$fontsarray(
fontname1 => fonttypeA,
fontname2 => fonttypeA,
fontname3 => fonttypeB,
fontname4 => fonttypeA,
)
Then you use that as
$fonttypeforurl = $fontsarray['userselectedfont']
Hi Chris,
If possible, Raleway: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Raleway
and if not already included, the beautiful Open Sans: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans.
Thanks for your excellent and worthy work!
Nicolas
