How to add a new font?
I'm looking to add some free fonts which are to my liking and I want to apply it all over my site. How can I upload a new set of font pack?
While Blot does not have a built-in feature for uploading font packs, you can still achieve the result you're after by placing font files in your blog's source folder and using the @font-face
rule in your template's CSS file.
To add a custom font to your website on Blot, follow the steps below:
Obtain the font files: usually in .ttf, .otf, or .woff formats.
Create a "fonts" folder: In your blog's source folder, create a new folder named "fonts" (or any name you prefer).
Upload font files: Place the font files you obtained in step 1 into the "fonts" folder you created in the previous step.
Modify your template CSS: Open up the template editor and locate your template's CSS file (usually named "style.css"). Open the CSS file and add the
@font-face rule
to specify the font files you uploaded.
Here's an example for files with the .ttf file extension:
@font-face {
font-family: 'CustomFontName';
src: url('fonts/font-file.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Replace 'CustomFontName' with a name of your choice to identify the font, and 'fonts/font-file.ttf' with the path to your font file within the "fonts" folder.
Apply the custom font: Once you have defined the @font-face rule in your CSS file, you can use the font-family property in other CSS rules or selectors to apply the custom font to specific elements on your website. For example:
body {
font-family: 'CustomFontName', sans-serif;
}
This would apply the custom font to the entire body of your website. Adjust the CSS selectors and rules as needed to apply the font where desired.
I hope this explanation helps – if you have any further questions, please let me know
