    In progress Forum Font Change

    Post by Beyonder September 23rd 2020, 8:27 pm

    Alright so it's been a while since I posted here but I am coming to an issue where I am trying to change/overhaul my entire forums font. (It's Horror Themed) and I would love to have a "Friday the 13th" style font for the forum.

    I asked before I believe in 2017 and no one got back to me about it, so I'm just reposting to see if anyone can help me?

    You can use websites like Google Fonts to find a font that you can use. These should work for everyone so long as their browser is up to date.

    Just to let you know it will only work with fonts that are installed on your computer's Mobiles, Tablets,

    So only use fonts from this site https://www.google.com/fonts any other fonts will not work on all computers if not installed.

    Go to the page of the font that you want and click Select the Font
    Then copy the link

    Then go to admin panel .., Display ...Templates ...General ... overall_header

    You need to add it before the closing </head> tag so find this 
    Code:
    <!-- END google_analytics_code -->
    paste your link after it

    now you should see that the </head> tag got red so that means the link you pasted doesnt have end so end it with/like this
    Code:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/..." />

    save and publish

    Go after to Display ...Colors ....CSS and insert this
    Code:
    body {
      font-family: "Your Font", sans-serif;
    }

     save

    do you have them installed to see them?

    this font is already bold ,  i think will be difficult to read all the forum with this font ( hard for the eye)

    This may help you https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_weight.asp

    just add it to this code
    Code:
    body {
              font-family: "Your Font", sans-serif;
            }
