Google fonts question

where do you add the code for using google fonts?

I notice in fonts file it says about uncommenting the code to enable google fonts, i assumed adding the code from google fonts (another font), would allow me to use it.

It didnt work, the example in the file has http:// in the address and the one from google fonts site, has https:// in the address, apart from that the paths were pretty much identical.

On the google fonts site, it say to embed the font you add the code, that is supplied by google, to the HTML header file.

So do i add this code to the fonts file or to the global template file, under the header section?

I might have worked this out! The uncomment part of the file, i was looking for comments as i know them, which is to say anything like


 

But i think in the code used here [tempcode]?? comments are denoted by



so it appears

What i am not sure of though is the / inside the code. Google says to past

<span href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cinzel+Decorative&amp;amp;quot; rel="stylesheet">

But if my theory of comments above is correct, that dosnt explain why the font when uncommented is

<link href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,400,600" rel="stylesheet" />

why is there a space and forward slash? unless the forward slash is part of the comment? but that dosnt make much sense to me. Having said that i am used to C for micros not PHP/tempcode,HTML etc etc

EDIT having pasted what i wrote, i see that the google version i pasted came out as a link, so i am thinking the forward slash is not needed.
 

Ok i got it i think, But now i need to know how to add another syle. something Like h6, so i can use the font just where i want it and not all over the place…………

So now i am tracking down where the H tags etc are defined. This is what takes time in designing, its the looking and learning how something works. But once its learnt it should be alot faster

Ok i am nearly sure i have it, just got to try it live! I will report in the forgotten thread if i have or not .

Tempcode comments do have their own syntax. Google is liable to change the sample code they provide over time. "//" at the start of the URL means "same protocol as the page is currently using".

Thanks again Chris, i got the font working in the end. But i might upload it….

It must be torture watching what i put your software through . All those nice gradients swapped for 1970's wallpaper colours lol.
