[Pro] custom font set not published

hi all,

this time i’ve a question about self created font sets:
i created a font set with souvenir and called it “souvenir”, added the link to the eot and ttf files (@font-face…) lines with html markup in the header and made a new text style with this font set. but when i publish the site, in the head is in the css-line with the name of the new text style the font set name missing (only the name of the secondary fonts are listed, not of the new made font-set)

what did i do wrong? i use freeway 6.0.5 and caxton

thx in advance for your help

Can you post a link to an online example so that we can see the underlying code.

Without that it is not easy to diagnose.

hi david,

you can access the original freeway file with the other relevant files under the dropbox-link http://db.tt/iFboeh2a
as you can see the main menu will be displayed correctly in the master site, in the child sites it will be displayed with verdana …

thx a lot in advance

ray

i’m using freeway 6.0.5 on a mac 10.8.2

I think your problem is that in the Edot>Font Sets section you have not named the fonts correctly in the alternative fonts field

You have

Souvenir Lt BT Light,Times,serif

when it should be

souvenirlight,Times,serif

to match the Font Family naming in the stylesheet.css file

Besides if your font name did contain space characters you would need to enclose the name in quote marks.

The other 2 are wrong also.

hi dave,

thank you, now it works!
one more question: the submenu items don’t appear in the preview pane. is that because of the web yep init code don’t work offline, and the submenu will work online as it should?

thank you in advance

You wont be able to preview any .php pages locally - you will need to check them online.

Alternatively change the page suffix to .html just for testing locally - just don’t forget to change it back to .php for uploading.

Just an Addendum to this Purity.

If all the fonts you are using are contained in one fontface stylesheet.css file then you only require one instance of the Caxton action on your FW page.

So for yours when souvenirlight, souvenirmedium and souvenirlightitalic are within 1 stylesheet the one instance of Caxton will cover them all.

You will still need separate Font Sets for each though.

thank you dave for the hint with the caxton action! i deleted the useless 2 of them.
and yes, you’re right, and i know it, that to preview a site’s looking the php-extension is annoying (sorry for that stupid question, i was fixed in other asks and didn’t think further)

thx and greetz
