Strange problem installing a custom font.

Hello good people,

I have uploaded a custom font, following all the proper CSS protocol. The custom font is similar in name to an existing font in the Squarespace library. 

My CSS change did change the font in question, but it changed it to the similar font in the Squarespace library, not to the font I uploaded. It's driving me nuts trying to sort it out.

My font: Lust Pro Demi (a purchased OTF file, uploaded with the woff and woff2 files)

The Squarespace font it keeps defaulting to: Lust text

The fonts are similar looking, but the subtle differences are quite important to my client's brand, and if I don't sort this out we may have to ditch Squarespace. Anyone else run into this? How did you work around it?

I've attached my code in case that's the issue. Thanks so much to whoever can respond.

hmm...I think I fixed it. I needed to remove the URLS for the woof files....which I had included while following some instructions from another user. Didnt work for me.

Now the font seems to be working...sort of. A bit glitchy. Hopefully I can keep fine-tuning.

Here's my followup Q: who are the geniuses in this space I could hire simply to go into my site and set up my custom CSS font structure?  It would just be for headers and I would need it to work on mobile and desktop.

What is site url? We can help easier

Where you upload the fonts in the new css window ?
