[Pro] Bold font displays as Light in browser

Freeway
1

I downloaded Raleway font from Google Fonts in Light and Bold weights.

I have followed all the steps to install the fonts, inserting the code into Page Markup and creating new font sets for each weight.

After putting text into Raleway Bold it displays correctly in ‘Master’ and ‘Page’ view but not in ‘Preview’ or when looked at in a browser.

I have tried restarting, relaunching, starting from scratch again several times but no joy.

Any clues?

Any clues?

Post a link to the live example and we can debug for you.

Without a live link we can only speculate.

Have you ever had a look at this?

I think it’s about font-weight which needs to be defined.

But a link as David suggested will be more worth than 1000 words.

Hi David

Here’s a link to the live example:

You’ll see I’m using the Retro’d template. The menu text, headline text and the word “Artwork” are all supposed to be in Raleway Bold; the rest in Raleway Light.

Thanks

Those three items are styled as

font-family: Raleway,sans-serif;

There is no font weight declaration in there.

So if you declare a font-weight then the style will follow

ie font-weight: 700

Thanks, David.
Where do I declare the font weight?

Not to worry; I have just found out it’s in the ‘extended’ box for font styles.

Thanks very much.
