[Pro] Google Fonts - Family

Freeway
1

Hi
I want to use the Google Font ‘Open Sans’ family of fonts in a new website project.

I have gone through the softpress instruction several times and I seem to have followed it correctly.

But when I do a line of text, I can change the font style in the font menu to Open Sans Light, but when previewing in the browser all weights of fonts used revert to the standard Open Sans.

Obviously I am missing something somewhere, but what.

You must use the Extended Style feature of the Style Editor to manually set
the font-weight to 300.

Menu Edit > Styles > select the style to edit > Extended > New >
‘font-weight’ in the Name field > ‘300’ in the Value field. (Don’t include
the quotes) If you’ve done everything else right, then this will fix it.

And posting a link will make it so much easier for us to diagnose if there is something else wrong.

Here is an old semi-tutorial to show how easy Google Fonts are. Because you
are using font-weights that fall outside of “normal” (light instead of
regular) you must tell the browser to use the light instead of normal font.
This is done through the font-weight attribute which, in this case, is set
at 300.
