Hello, I am trying to add a custom font to my theme but it doesn’t work… I certainly did something wrong but I can’t find where. I am developing my own theme that I installed via github. In the assets repository, I uploaded my fonts that are not Google fonts : [Capture d’écran 2023-04-06 à 10…

Hi @Joart , I played with this a bit on a fairly new Discourse instance, and had some trouble with the first few fonts I tried. I had converted them to .woff2 using a free, online converter, and I think maybe it didn’t do a good job. When I tried with an .otf font and again with another .woff2 font…

Hi @Joart , I’m sure I’m oversimplifying, but I notice in your about.json snippet, the path to the fonts points to an assets folder, but in your css, the path points to a fonts folder. Are you sure the css source path is correct?

It’s hard to guess why. You might put your theme on github and link to it or post your code here. Did you follow the example provided by @awesomerobot ?

Oh Yes, thank you! I tried with the ttf format and it works!

I am not sure what the issue night be. I’d look at Include assets (e.g. images, fonts) in themes and components. Sorry if that’s not helpful.
