• I’m trying to style a font that is being referenced inline using fancy box on a wordpress blog. Using both chrome and firefox.

    I’ve tried this two ways:

    1.) Loading the @font-face on the theme’s stylesheet, then adding a <p style=”font-family:fontgoeshere”> in html markup on the page itself. I don’t want all of the paragraph text on the blog to load with that font, just the divs inline on the fancybox. I know all the sources are correct because I’ve tried them in html files and they load perfectly.

    2.) I’ve tried loading the @font-face on the page html markup itself. I add a style and place the call in that style at the top of the page. Then I reference the font-family in the same way that works in the normal html page.

    The fact that it is working on a simple html page makes me think I’m doing something wrong specifically in wordpress.

    Here is the url to the page: http://elparquenuez.com/sandbox/wordpress/?page_id=4

    Click on the first image to load the fancy box.

    Here’s the code for the page:

    <style type="text/css">
    
    @font-face {
    font-family: "fanwood";
    src: url(http://localhost:8888/html5/fanwood/Fanwood.otf);
    }
    
    </style>

    Can this even be done on wordpress? Or does wordpress parse the css and ignore it?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • @font-face works just fine with WordPress. I use it on my site with no problems whatsoever.

    Chip,

    Thank you for the reply. Do you have any success with embedding @fontface styles on a page instead of the stylesheet?

    If not in the stylesheet, your best bet would be to enqueue a script directly in the document head. I’ve not tried this method with @font-face, so I couldn’t say whether it would work any differently.

    In either case, though, you’ll want a *.css file to hold your CSS (including the @font-face declarations), mainly because it is not best practice to dump CSS directly into the document head.
