Support » Theme: Bushwick » My font keeps flashing from the original theme font to my chose font

  • I’m having an annoying problem where while a page is loading it always flashes the original theme font. Is this fixable?

    I tried to even fix it by trying to switch the fonts back to the original theme fonts (which I don’t like nearly as much), but couldn’t even locate which fonts those are from the list of default options

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi there,

    This is by design. On slower connections, the theme’s default font is displayed first. This way, people can start reading your content before the custom font loads, instead of waiting while looking at a blank page. This might mean that there’s a flash of a different font before the page finishes loading, but we think overall this is better for folks on slower connections than seeing a blank screen.

    Thank you for your quick reply! Is this something that I’d be able to change? I think a blank page for half a second would be preferable to the awkward flash. It’s so brief, it just looks unprofessional in my opinion.

    If it’s not fixable, can you tell me what the original fonts are? I’d think I’d rather just switch back to them.

    Hello there,

    You could try adding this this CSS:

    
    /* Global: Remove the flash of unstyled text (FOUT) */
     
    .wf-loading body {
        visibility: hidden;
    }
    
    /* Global: Remove the flash of unstyled text (FOUT) */
     
    .wf-loading body {
        display: none;
    }
    
    /* Global: Remove the flash of unstyled text (FOUT) */
     
    html:not(.wf-active) body {
        display: none;
    }
    
    

    However, this is not a guaranteed fix.

    I hope this helps.
