Fonts and font plugins. Follet/Alétheia

  • I’ve tried a number of plugins and css changes to add my own fonts.- mainly unsuccessfully.

    I’d like to work with TYPEKIT, because I’m familiar with the fonts.

    I’m using a child theme of Follet, called “Aletheia”

    I’ve also tried to identify the CSS names of the font styling, so that I can add my typekit fonts directly, using firebug,

    I can’t seem to identify the names of the styles to chose. for example, the main site title….how do I find a list of css titles used in my themes?

    eg; h1? sittitle? site-title? .site-title ?

    even when I’ve managed to change the font within the normal editor of the wordpress page, eg from helvetica to ariel, firebug shows no alteration in the css styling.it always just sans “sans-serif” with no mention of the actual font used.
    Perhaps I’m not using firebug properly?

    ok I looked at using firebug again, and found my chosen typekit font for the site title, but it appears semi-opaque in the css…which I assume means that it isn’t being applied for some reason.

    am having slightly more success with a single-use free plugin (multiple uses cost 10) of a plugin called ‘Use Any Font’

    and am experimenting now with google font plugin “easy google fonts”…no luck yet

    finally got one plugin to work.”easy google fonts”.

    However, still having trouble editing fonts on the navigation bar/main menu.

    When I use firebug to change it, it works a treat

    body, h3, h2 {
    font-family: Allura;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 600; */changed from 400/*
    text-transform: none;
    }

    but when I add it to appearance/edit, nothing happens…even when I add !important

    any clues?
