Adding Google Web Fonts

I have a customer who want me to use the Google Web Font named Tangerine in the title of the website.
I told her that my design program supported GWF, so it would be no problem.
Now, however, I see that is actually very much a problem as Artisteer only support SOME Google Fonts - and for instance NOT Tangerine.
The reason may be that Tangerine isn't websafe or something, but why isn't it possible to override such a limitation? You should let your users decide which fonts to use no matter what.

Is there a way to override this and add more fonts to Artisteer? Please...
Or am i forced to tamper with the CSS etc. of the template once I have installed it and not be able to see my final template in Artisteer?

I see that font in my font choices for the title. What version of Artisteer are you using?

They are showing in all IE versions for me. Well back to IE7 anyway.

Thanks Dave - when I put them in a server environment they work. For some reason on my pc they don't in simply preview mode.

I am currently having a issue with my older Android phone not displaying them. Seems odd.

I am using Artisteer.4.1.0.59688 and haven't updated to the newest version 4.1.0.59782 as bugs were reported immediately.

So I can verify that in the version I am using I see the Tangerine font in my list. Are you selecting the title and then going to text -> font options and scrolling down through the Googly Font selection?

If it's not showing in there it's either the newest version is the problem or something else.

Hi, I have found the problem. :-)

the list of fonts seemed so long, so I scrolled to the bottom of the list and rolled up to "T", where the alphabetically first is Tecton Pro. This lead me to think that Tangerine wasn't supported. I simply wasn't aware that the System fonts are listed separately at the bottom, so yes, Tangerine is there, I just had to scroll further up.

Sorry :-|

I have a different problem with Google Web Fonts in that the families containing more than the standard four fonts (roman, italic, bold, bold italic) don't show anything more than the standard four. Examples: semibold, light, black, extra bold, etc. simply don't show up in Artisteer, even though I've downloaded them from Google and installed them onto my system (Win XP) properly.

If somebody can help me with this I'd very much appreciate it.

Did you figure this out? I need to include a 'light' version of the font and don't know how to do it

You have tu manually change the template's "index.php" and place the fonts you want in html code.

I use OPEN SANS:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700" />

You can see in my web: http://procesalistas.es
