Google fonts

July 21, 2015 06:07

Hi guys,

So the answer to this may end up being the same as for my last query about removing the "Child Pages" block, but we'll see. :)

We would like to use a Google Font to keep our wiki content's look-and-feel in like with the rest of our websites. Ordinarily, one would place the code for this in the <head> of the page template. Is there a way to do this when using Scroll Versions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Seona,

I've just added some CSS to the Stylesheet of a space managed with Scroll Versions (as described here).
Everything worked as expected and the font was successfully changed.

Best,Nils

Hi Nils,

Thanks. I've tried the code from that page, and it allows me to change to another standard font - such as the Times (and fallbacks) of the example.

However we're wanting to use the font Roboto from Google Fonts (https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto). I've tried adding just the name to the CSS, since you original response suggested that this should work. I used the Times example from the page you quoted as a base, since Roboto is a sans-serif font so I figured it would be fairly easy to spot if it worked. Sadly, the page is displaying with serifs.

body {
font-family: Roboto, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
}

Any suggestions as to what I'm dong wrong?

Cheers,
Seona.

Hi Seona,

have you already tried to upload it to your system and then refer to the font (as described here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/9386799/confluence-add-custom-font-file-to-use-in-space-stylesheet-)?

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

Aha! I hadn't realised I needed to host the fonts locally for it to work. Now I've done that it's working beautifully.

Thanks for your help.
