Need help figuring out using external font on page

By Oceanside, 7 years ago. Last reply by Alex S, 7 years ago.

Hi there,

I’ve been perusing the Internet for guidance, and expected this to be way easier than it’s proving to be (so I think there’s something I’m not getting).

I’m just trying to add an external font to my page (using Vantage theme), and then I want to try it as the menu font.

These are the two fonts I’m trying to use:
http://allfont.net/download/montserrat-light/
http://allfont.net/download/montserrat-light/

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Ange

    Hi Ange,

    So we typically only really recommend using Google Fonts (which has Montserrat, but unfortunately not the light version) as they’re very easy to add. If you wish to make use of this Google Font please navigate to WP AdminAppearanceCustomize, then Theme DesignFonts and select it from the Font list.

    Regardless, to add this font to your website please navigate to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS and add the following CSS:

    @import url(http://allfont.net/allfont.css?fonts=montserrat-light);

    The font family for this font is: “Montserrat Light”

    To use this font, for example, for the content area paragraphs simply add the following CSS:

    .entry-content p {
	font-family: 'Montserrat Light', arial;
}

    Does that make sense?
