Grant, this is what I think.
-
you need to make your font-family code conform to valid markup.
-
you should have a better strategy for applying that code.
The proper format for fonts which have spaces in their names is to quote
them. I use single quotes and for safety, even quote special font names
which have no spaces.
Edit your Fonts for this document (menu Edit > Font Sets…) and edit your
Source Sans Pro Light to read like this:
'Source Sans Pro Light', sans-serif
with the user’s default sans-serif font as the fallback in case of problems
on their end. While you are editing font-sets, make sure any other fonts
are also properly written.
This takes care of some of your issues with this page. However, your
“title” is a mess - a paragraph tag and three nested span styles… with
three different font-families. This is not helping you.
Freeway Pro makes up a lot of these styles on it’s own - allowing users to
experiment in the workspace without having to worry about the code that is
generated. This however is a rubbish approach because it generates truly
bad code - and because we’re trained by this approach to ignore the code
(good or bad) we are caught by surprise when that dirty stinky code comes
spilling out to make a mess. I will never understand why we equate
ignorance with convenience. But, I digress.
It would be better to use the html tags designed for basic text - p for
paragraphs and heading tags (h1, h2, h3, etc) for titles and subheds. While
you and I are trained to recognize and organize information visually,
things like Google and computers in general cannot - you are more easily
found when they can understand your content. When properly used, you can
change a font for one style, and have it reflect across your whole site -
with much less chance of conflict.
h1 {
font-family: 'Source Sans Pro Light', sans-serif; <!-- this can be done in
the Edit Styles window -->
font-weight: 300; <!-- best done in the Edit Styles, Extended window -->

Hi Dave,
I have set the title as Source Sans Pro. If I set it as 400, it’s okay,
but 300 doesn’t show up and curiously, appears to be replaced by another
Google font that is used in the Floral template.
This is what I have in FW -

and this is how it is on the web - prints.grantsymon.com
(NB - this is the actual site which I’m working on as I go, so it is
constantly changing. It is not ‘live’ as in; only people here know the
address, but it will be eventually)

All I want to do with my Floral template, is to change some of the fonts to non-standard web fonts. How card can it be? (Seriously hard is the answer
