I’m using Adobe Creative Cloud which gives me access to Typekit. However, it is proving impossible to implement, despite me being a reasonably competent FW Pro user. Softpress Support suggested using FontStacks, but still no luck…

Fellow Typekit User,
It’s very easy:
STEP 1 -
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/196b13a9-9a3b-483a-8bad-abbd7e0f181c/d7a8b5153bed7e675c9416b3319ce75dhttps://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/196b13a9-9a3b-483a-8bad-abbd7e0f181c/d7a8b5153bed7e675c9416b3319ce75dhttps://www.evernote.com/shard/s218/sh/196b13a9-9a3b-483a-8bad-abbd7e0f181c/d7a8b5153bed7e675c9416b3319ce75d
Login to your Typekit account. Find and choose Create a Kit in the menus.
Enter a name for your kit. THIS IS IMPORTANT: Enter in ALL the domains (
www.yourdomain.com) that you plan to use the fonts on. For me, this means
my development site AND the final client. You can edit this later, but it
is easier to plan ahead, trust me.
STEP 2 -
Select the Typekit fonts you want to use and add them to your kit.
STEP 3 -
Open your Kit settings, select a font and create the CSS selector or HTML
element you want to use. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, THEN YOU WILL
NEED TO LEARN WHAT SELECTORS AND ELEMENTS ARE AND HOW TO MAKE AND USE THEM
IN FREEWAY PRO. Perhaps the easiest are Header elements (h1, h2, etc.)
Let’s focus on the h1 element and add it to the selectors group. You can
edit these setting later. Click Publish, then click the “embed code”.
STEP 4 -
Select the embed code. Copy it.
STEP 5 -
In Freeway Pro, open the Page > HTML Markup menu - either on the master
page or on every page - paste the embed code into the Before
section.
STEP 6 - FINAL STEP
In Freeway Pro, create or edit the selectors you specified in your Typekit
settings. In this example, we are focused on the h1 element. Since FWP
automatically creates the h1, all we have to do is open the Edit Styles
window, choose Extended, then add a new attribute… “font-family” with the
value ’ “yourfontname”,serif ’ . Go back to Step 3 and choose “Using fonts
in CSS” under the Selectors menu for tips for writing this style. Exit and
save, you’re done!
The font will not show up in your local preview, but will be visible on the
domains you listed in your Typekit settings.
