Topic: Google Font Issue - GStyle theme

I'm not blaming GStyle here, just letting you know where I am working.

In a previous post a user was advised to consult the Innovation theme to see how to set up Google Fonts. In GStyle, all template elements are contained with one file, whereas Innovation has a header.php, sidebar.php, etc. Again just pointing out differences, not blaming.

To the point: All attempts to get any font to display fail. In the Firebug window, the tag for any font appears thus:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:300" type="text/css">

Am I correct in assuming that the family argument would only appear as it does if the Google font repository were contacted? Seems generic; it does not change for any font.

Wonder if Google has changed something? Thoughts?

Re: Google Font Issue - GStyle theme

did you correctly include the font like that: font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; ?
otherwise try the other methods to include the font (@import or via javascript)

The font-family shows as indicated no matter what font is specified in the <link> tag and in the corresponding selector in the stylesheet.

For example, if I specify a tag such as:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Fondamento' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

and specify the font in CSS, it does not change and Firebug shoes the code in the initial post no matter which font is specified. i tried about eight.

Re: Google Font Issue - GStyle theme

But you agree, that this is not a GetSimple problem?

did you check the correct sequence of the css-links?

1) Link to the font
2) Link to the css which uses that font?

<link  href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:300,400,700&v1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

works for me
