I want to test our custom font, I have tried this option: Include @font-face via Custom CSS

I dont get any errors but our custom font doesnt work. Font itself works ok when I test the url (.woff file).

Any hints to test or can Insided help me? :)

 

Edit:

Problem solved, I accidentally tested Fonts like this and our custom font works ok:

 

Before this I had this kind of font family:

font-family: "Custom”, custom_font_name;

Is there something I dont understand now?

Body font is too small, how to adjust that? With custom CSS? Currently size is 14px and we would like to use 16px. This is matter of accessibility as well.

Hi @revote 👋,

 

Apologies for the delay, I’ve been out of office!

 

Yes this would need to be done with Custom CSS. So to increase the font size of all <p> elements that are size 14px you could add the following code:

p {
font-size: 16px;
}

 

You may find that you also need to scale up other elements on the page as you’ve increased all <p> elements in the body. So you could also use similar code but instead target h1, h2, h3 etc.

 

For example:

h3 {
font-size: 22px;
}

 

If you need any help targeting other elements that you feel need an increase in font-size, let me know or contact support@insided.com

 

Thanks 😁
