Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Hi,
I have added 3 custom fonts to my website. 2 of them work perfectly (Colgent and Montserrat) as soon as I change the font name to the 3rd one (VelvetScript) in Theme Settings > Custom CCS on my site, it just reverts to a generic font.
If I test the following, it works - the heading is changed to Colgent Font:
h1 {
font-family: "Colgent", serif;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
}
If I change it to the following, it does not show VelvetScript, instead a generic cursive font:
h1 {
font-family: "VelvetScript", cursive;
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
}
I saved the following under theme.liquid:
@font-face {
font-family: "Colgent";
src: url("{{ //admin.shopify.com/store/31d344-40/themes/169165160730?key=assets%2FColgent.ttf' | asset_url }}");
format("truetype");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: "VelvetScript";
src: url("{{ https://admin.shopify.com/store/31d344-40/themes/169165160730?key=assets%2FVelvetScript.woff' | asset_url }}");
format("woff");
url("{{ https://admin.shopify.com/store/31d344-40/themes/169165160730?key=assets%2FVelvetScript.woff2' | asset_url }}");
format("woff2");
url("{{ https://admin.shopify.com/store/31d344-40/themes/169165160730?key=assets%2FVelvetScript.ttf' | asset_url }}");
format("truetype");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
And saved the files under the assets tab.
Any help will be much appreciated. It just doesnt make sense why one font doesnt work but others do.
Please use woff2 formate, ttf is not support many browser.
