Adding a google font not currently incorporated in 7.1

Does anyone know how hard it would be to custom code a non supported font into 7.1? I want to use a standard google font which isn't included.

You can add any Google Font to a Squarespace 7.1 site but it won't appear in the site styles panel. Instead, you'll need to add it with code (requires a Business Plan or above) and then use Custom CSS to apply it to the areas where you want to use it.

There's a lot of built in fonts for the Squarespace 7.1 templates and it looks like they are adding new ones consistently. I don't think they currently support custom fonts installed by you (the user), but there is a nice selection to choose from that is serif, sans serif or a mix of both.

Navigate to Designs --> Site Styles --> Fonts and click the Switch link to choose from the list of all fonts.

Newly available fonts are labeled with the "New" icon on the right side.

@Alpen To achieve this you'll need to use Custom CSS. 

In the menu if you select 'Design' and then 'Custom CSS'  and scroll down you will see a button labelled 'Manage Custom Files'. This is where you'll need to upload your font file. 

Then in the CSS area you'll need to add some code - 

@font-face {
  font-family: 'fontName';
  src: url(font location);
}

And then using CSS you can assign this font to different blocks / heading types.

You can upload a font and use the following code to target/assign it.

@font-face {   
font-family: 'font-name';   
src: url(URL.ttf/.otf);}

ThE URL can be an external link, but my preferred method is to upload the font under "Manage Custom File" which is right below the CSS window.

Then target whatever H or P's your wanting using the following code.

h1 {
font-family: 'font-name';}
