hello I'm new with Artisteer, and I would like how to add another special font to the program, so it will appear in drop down windows when I will use the program. How can I do please?
I'm using Artisteer 4.1
Thank you for any help!

Keep in mind, that all users may not have your special fonts on their own system. That is why there are a limited # of fonts included in any web design app.

thank you Pablo for the information, but .. can I insert another font (e.g. a Google font) in Artisteer program? Or, can I "embed" my own special font in website template?

Thank you for a suggestion!!

Yes you can choose another Google font. Embedding your own "special" font will require more than it appears you're capable of.

Thank you Peter for your answer.

You're right, I'm not a template developer, and this is why I use Artisteer in my projects. I think I can learn, anyway. :-)

My client ask me to use a special font he bought (Helvetica neue) because this is the font used in his logo. My question was intended only to ask "how to" install new external fonts inside Artisteer and if this is possible, of course. This could be very useful for many Artisteer users, I think.

I will try to find how to do it and I will share this info in this forum.

I think this link would provide you with a better alternative.

If the client wants to use a particular font it needs to be explained to them that if a site visitor doesn't have that font installed then they won't see that font.

Use it for graphic assets only. Don't reference it in CSS.

I think I have a similar, if not the same, question as rosy. Which I don't think the respondents understood.

I know I can use the Export / Options / CSS to add "<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css? blah blah blah" to the header and then manually change "font-family:blah blah" wherever it needs it on a case by case basis throughout the css file.

My question (and I think rosy's as well) is: Is there a way to add the web font (google font) to the artisteer app/tool so that the font-family: can be used while making the theme? So the manual find/replace css edit doesn't have to be done every time a new version of the theme is built and uploaded.

Thanks,

TBG
