Using Google Fonts is awesome, but more awesomer is when you can see the fonts in your Artisteer, right?

Go to Google http://www.google.com/webfonts#ChoosePlace:select
Choose your fonts
Open a txt document and paste the code of the Google Font and the CSS:

Looks like this:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=WHAT MY FONT IS' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
-and-
font-family: 'WHAT MY FONT IS ', serif;

Keep these handy, you will need them later.

Find and download the .tff version of your fonts.
Try http://www.fontineed.com/

If you can't find a .ttf version of your font
go to: http://www.freefontconverter.com/
and convert it.

On your computer, open your Font Library, and install the fonts.

Open Artiseer - open your Template..

Colors & Fonts > Font Sets > Highlight "Custom" (should say Unsaved) - scroll down to "Edit Font Set"
Now you can choose the Google Fonts for your Template.



I would also give your Unsaved Font style a name at this point

You will need to put the code in the header of your index.php of your template:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family= WHAT MY FONT IS ' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Remember that Google fonts uses "font-weight" that is numerical, such as 400 (book), 600 (bold), 900 (bolder)

There ya go!

:( Are there some steps missing for this? I installed the fonts on my PC and I can see them in Word but Artisteer doesn't give me the option to add it.

Make sure you have restarted Artisteer after adding the fonts.

Is this possible in Artisteer 3.1 ??

I also cant find the installed fonts even after the restart. I wish to use Myriad Pro Font?

Where are you looking for this font?

It will not show up in the small list on most places. You have to go to font options (more fonts V 3.1) and then you can see the entire list.
