Incorrect handling of variable font weight in Site Settings > Global Fonts

    Hi,

    It seems to me that Elementor “Site Settings > Global Fonts” do not work correctly with the weight settings of variable fonts.

    When I set a variable font for any of the system or user fonts in the “Family” field and enter a numerical weight value, for example, “450”, this value does not work when assigning this global font style to a font in the widget (screenshot from the developer panel: https://c2n.me/4mqzGNF.png )

    At the same time, if you enter the value manually in the “Typography” window, the entered weight is assigned correctly.

    P.S. The only solution at the moment is to add manually the following lines to the Custom CSS field of the site settings:
    :root {
    --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight: 650;
    --e-global-typography-secondary-font-weight: 550;
    --e-global-typography-text-font-weight: 450;
    ...etc
    }

    Hi @alexschneider_ru,

    It might be a conflict with your theme or plugins,

    Please follow these steps and let me know if it solved your issue:

    – Deactivate all of your plugins except Elementor. If this solves the problem, gradually activate your plugins one by one, until you spot the problematic plugin.

    – Switch your WordPress theme to Hello Elementor (or another default WordPress theme) temporarily and see if it solves your error..

    I hope this information helped you.

    “Due to inactivity, this ticket has been closed.”
    What ? the problem isn’t resolved…
    Rica, did you mean “due to developer inactivity this ticket has been closed.” ?

    Don’t close this ticket, because this problem is related by many people (including me) on the github link :
    https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/29496
    The problem is well documented by users, since December 2024…

    I pay for Elementor Pro, and I think that this feature (Variable font weight on global typography) is important for productivity on modern sites created with Elementor…

    This is a joke. This issue has been going on for over 6 months and they haven’t solved anything yet. They haven’t even given a real answer to the problem. Are we a joke to the Elementor team?

    Typical Elementor behavior. Widespread bug is reported by dozens of users. Instead of addressing the issue, they just close and ignore the tickets.

    Here is the GitHub thread in reference: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/29496

    There has been exactly 1 response from Elementor team saying “We are looking into this” from December 2024. Dozens of users asking for an update are ignored by the Elementor team. No updates, no further responses, no workarounds or potential solutions provided by the team… Wonder how long until they just close the ticket entirely?
