Having Trouble Changing Fonts with CSS

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://sunfish-bobcat-m5pn.squarespace.com/

I am trying to change my font to Caviar Dreams Bold using the Hester layout, and it's not working. 

I am going into Design > Custom CSS > Manage Custom Files > uploading "CaviarDreams_Bold"

Then I'm using the following code:

@font-face {

    font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold';

       src:'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f70e7b4f441fc6382c229d7/t/5f984d28d716563034e425cb/1603816745783/CaviarDreams_Bold.ttf';

  }

h2 {font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold'}
h3 {font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold'}
h4 {font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold'}
p1 {font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold'}

*It actually is changing the font, but it's not the right font; I've uploaded what it looks like, and what it's supposed to look like (look at the "e" and you'll see

Your code is invalid, use this new code

@font-face {
    font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold';
    src: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f70e7b4f441fc6382c229d7/t/5f984d28d716563034e425cb/1603816745783/CaviarDreams_Bold.ttf);
}
h2, h3, h4, p {
    font-family: 'CaviarDreams_Bold' !important;
}

(There is no p1, p2, p3... tag)

what I learned from doing this a couple of times: there are a lot of different classes you need to address like (buttons, contact form, image  block text, footer navigation etc.. ....). Depending on how detailed you want to switch the fonts, it's a good start using a system font that is as close as possible and focus on the main text classes with CSS

Replace MONTSERRAT-LIGHT with your font name

/* Button custom font */
/* Header button */
a.btn {
    font-family: 'MONTSERRAT-LIGHT' !important;
}
/* Buttons */
a.sqs-block-button-element {
    font-family: 'MONTSERRAT-LIGHT' !important;
}
/* image block button */
.image-button-inner a {
    font-family: 'MONTSERRAT-LIGHT' !important;
}
/* newsletter button */
span.newsletter-form-button-label {
    font-family: 'MONTSERRAT-LIGHT' !important;
}
/* form button */
input.button.sqs-system-button.sqs-editable-button {
    font-family: 'MONTSERRAT-LIGHT' !important;
}

thank you!!!

final issues (i hope):

on the newsletter button, the change works, but there's still the text in the field that is a different font. is there any way to change this, too? (see attached)

also, what about forms? this is still the wrong font, too. is there a way to overwrite this? 

thanks again! you've been a lifesaver, and this has been such a learning experience.
