Change Font Case Type when using Custom CSS for uploaded Fonts

Hello - I recently used this guide to help me use specially purchased fonts for my site. 

It partially worked, but I have two questions for the pieces I can't figure out:

1) The Headings seem to be in all CAPS by default. How do I correct this (It doesn't look right with the font I'm using)? I'd like it to be as typed, meaning there would be some words starting with capitals, but the rest would be lowercase.

2) The coding didn't work for the body text. I replaced 'H1' with 'P1' (and P2, P3, etc.) respectively, double-checked the font title was spelled correctly, etc., but I cannot get it to appear as the font in the body. Any help?

 

PW is wr1234

I resolved question #1. I am still having issues with Question #2 (see original post).

I tried adding the file extension ('.otf') to the font name, which helped in the case of the headings (which is strange because that was not needed when I was using a different font family with the same extension, so I don't think that is the issue).

I've added new screenshots, can anyone help me to figure out why I can't seem to change my paragraph/body font family?  (Keep in mind, the screenshots only show 'p4' but I applied the same code to 'p1', 'p2', 'p3', and 'p4' respectively, only changing font size).

Hi,

heading has h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6

p has no p1, p2, p3...

p has only p, p.sqsrte-small, p.sqsrte-large

 

Thank you, that helped. The instructions I followed to change the font code said otherwise. All good now!

Next question if you can help - on tablets and on mobile, the padding effect bleeds over the text on image blocks, as per attached image.

Do you know what code I would use to fix this please?  I have tried but can't figure it out.

Hi @tuanphan no I haven't fixed it - if you look on mobile, on Eat & Drink, at Hastings Distillers, you can see the blue background on the font bleeding over the text.  same on the other pages with longer names.

Try adding this code to Page Header

<style>
  @media screen and (max-width:767px) {
  figcaption.image-card-wrapper * {
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
}
  }
</style>

Hi @hilaryb

I'm having the same issue #1 that you were (all of the headers being in all caps and wanting to be able to use upper OR lower case). Do you mind if I ask how you resolved that issue? 

 

@tuanphan - If you also happen to know I'd be very grateful for any help! 

 

Thank you both!

I am running into the same issue as the OP for issue #1.  How were you able to rectify the ALL CAPS issue?  I have uploaded a script type font and I plan to use it sparingly, but it looks TERRIBLE in all caps and it's too busy as a paragraph font.  Can any of you help?  Thanks!

I'm also having the same issue #1 as OP.

My text is showing as all CAPS.

I would like both upper and lowercase text.

 

It's happening with the two fonts that I've loaded into Squarespace.

Tried it on this brand-new test site with no pre-existing code just to be safe but still have the problem.
