I want to add custom fonts to Pipeline theme 2.0

[niraliie]

Hi There! @Shopify

I am using the Pipeline theme for the Shopify store. I want to add my fonts to this theme. I have two different fonts with different font weights. I know I have to update the `css-variabel.liquid`. Can anyone please help to add my custom fonts to this?

Thanks

Hi Nira,

You can follow Shopify's instruction to add custom fonts to your theme:

https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/architecture/settings/fonts#custom-fonts

Hi @Van_Nguyen_GSG, 

I have the default theme's `css-variable` file, in this, they have set fonts variable like below. How can I use custom fonts in this to work? I tried but it's not working properly. If you know something please let me know. Thanks 

 assign base_font = settings.type_base_font
  assign base_font_bold = base_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign heading_font = settings.type_heading_font
  assign heading_font_bold = heading_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign accent_font = settings.type_accent_font
  assign accent_font_bold = accent_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

Hi @Niralishopwell,

You can follow my steps below to upload your custom font. 

Uploading your font

To get started, you will first need to upload the font into the Assets folder of your theme.

1. To get to the Assets folder of your theme, navigate to your Shopify dashboard. From here, go to Online Store > Actions > Edit Code
2. Scroll down till you find the Assets folder and click Add a new Asset, select your font file, and hit upload asset.

Installing your font in your theme

Next up: Tell your theme that it can use the font file that you have uploaded.

1. Go to your theme's main CSS file (usually named styles.scss.liquid, theme.scss.liquid, or another variation of this). This file can be found in the Assets folder of your theme - navigate to the bottom of this file to add new code to your theme.
2. Add the code below, replacing highlighted elements of the code with actual data.
   Font name > the name of the font, if the font has more than one word in its name it will need "quotation marks" - these will also be needed when inserting into Shogun.
   Filename > the name of the file that was just uploaded to your theme including the file extension, for example, cosmic_sans_bold.ttf.
   Format > the format of the font that was uploaded, for example, for Athena.ttf this would be "TrueType".

Hope my solution works perfectly for you!

Hi @PageFly-Richard, thanks for replying. I have already done by this way but I follow this process I have to check and change fonts to every class element.

Can I update `css-variables` like this 

 assign base_font = settings.type_base_font
  assign base_font_bold = base_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign heading_font = settings.type_heading_font
  assign heading_font_bold = heading_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign accent_font = settings.type_accent_font
  assign accent_font_bold = accent_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign nav_font = settings.type_nav_font

PLease help me if you know the solution. Thanks

Yes you can use it by structure

{% liquid
 assign base_font = settings.type_base_font
  assign base_font_bold = base_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign. heading_font = settings.type_heading_font
  assign. heading_font_bold = heading_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign accent_font = settings.type_accent_font
  assign accent_font_bold = accent_font | font_modify: 'weight', 'bolder'

  assign nav_font = settings.type_nav_font
%}
<style>
.class{
//example
font-weight:{{heading_font_bold }}
}
</style>

Hello,

Please follow the step and solve the issue

Step 1) From your Shopify admin, navigate to Settings > Files.

Step 2) Click on upload files at the top right and upload all of your font files.

Step 3) After that click the font and copy the font url.

@font-face {
font-family: 'Font-Name';
src: url('Font-url.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: bold;
}
body {
font-family: 'MyWebFont;
}

Step 4) Add the CSS in base.css and save the file

Thanks.
