simpson7647 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 hi all, i have a quick question.How do i upload new fonts (tt format or something) into prestashop so i can use them on my website.Id also like if someone cannot view the new font, a origional normal font like times or something would be used in stead so they can still read it.This is important as i look to us it for my categories, possible titles and text on the homepage.thankyouEDITive read that if the read doesnt have the font installed, then they wont be able to see the custom font i have added.Ive thought of a way round this being adding an image to the category block im looking to change in which ill add the background i want with the font on top.this way, they'll be viewing an image of the font and not the actual font.Will it work?many thanks,kind regards,Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty501 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Basically Yes. Many sites (not just PS Stores) will use their own style of font, but in the main they will create images to be used and not use fonts for the very reason you said - if the user does not have it installed, it will display a default font - which can make site look messy and not as intended.You can have the site download the font to the user if they dont have it - but that method is not used these days as people do not like downloading things to just read a piece of text.

Scotty501 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That I am not so sure about. I guess you would need to change the in-line code to with a ahref link.Sorry - not a coder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLNZ Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 add the fonts that you want to use to the global.css - body font is abt line 18the way css works is that the first gets used, if not availble then second and so on. All depends on what the clinet viewing th site has installed on their PC.An alternate way is to use the font you want as an image to replace the text and use the text vesrion in the alt tage incase someone has images turned off (unlikely on shop site) but also to get the SEO value of the text.Have a look at this for some interesting fonts.Also do a Google search for adding image fonts or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
