Hi,
while Font Squirrel may not have that weight of font, you can (if legally allowed to - check the EULA) convert the font on your Mac using FontPrep ( http://fontprep.com ). This creates files that will work with my Caxton Action.
I’m not sure why the fonts are not rendering in the Carousel though. I do know that there are rendering bugs in Safari that affect the quality of antialiasing when you have animated objects like this on the page (I’ve noticed this with Hype output too). This can make text look a slightly different weight to what you would expect.
Some of your p body text on the page uses Sofia. That’s the p.BODYWHITE style. where that font is defined in the CSS.

I’m trying to apply the font ‘sofia extra light’ to the main carousel banners at the top of my site.
When I use the web font action, it comes very close… more like a light. However it also changes the p.body text within my site.
How can I stop this?
Or can anyone please suggest an alternative method in which to source this font?
I have tried using the caxton action also, but font squirell does not have this font in that weight!??
Thanks Paul, I’m yet to use fontprep but have taken a look, seems great!
I’m still keen to find out why web fonts is rendering my p.BODYWHITE style, is it simple baecause its sofia?
Therfore if you use web font action anywhere on page, it will apply that to all references of that within the page?
Is there no way to define a specific element?
I guess if not my only option left is to use fontprep & caxton action then I can no issues, but I just hate to skirt around an issue unless there is no resolve left.
Or could I try using google fonts perhaps?
Unless you would recommed anything else guys?
Only the initial carousel frame is html, the rest are graphic images. I only tired out one frame to save on time & see if it was feasible before I proceeded.
