Including additional font weights

First of all thank you for such a great plugin. I’m loving it.

What is the best way to include additional weights for Google fonts? I am selecting Roboto Condensed (Normal 400) for my headings but I would also like to be able to bold my headings when I choose. However the import isn’t including any additional weights: <link rel=“stylesheet” href=“http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto Condensed:400” />

Hey Seth,

Thanks for getting in touch and for the kind words! Re. Font weights for the included Google Fonts, you have the ability to change the weight for headings in the customizer. Those settings are site-wide and not available on a case by case basis which I think is what you are after. You could simply put in some inline HTML in the heading module to bold it if you like. Pretty much any field in the BB modules accepts inline styling if desired. Hope that helps!

Best,

Well the problem I’m running into is that inline styling doesn’t work either since additional weights for that custom font are not imported:

One weight (normal 400):
<link href=‘http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400’ rel=‘stylesheet’ type=‘text/css’>

vs

Two weights (normal 400 and bold 700)
<link href=‘http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400,700’ rel=‘stylesheet’ type=‘text/css’>

Actually if I try to bold a heading on a case-by-case basis it will actually make those words invisible since there is no “bold” version of Roboto Condensed imported into the user’s browser.

If I try to make the heading: “On SALE today!”

The word “SALE” wouldn’t even show up and it would read “On      today!”

Hey Seth,

I see what you mean now, sorry about that. You would need to manually add the additional font weights to the theme PHP files (using a child theme), specifically enqueuing Google fonts. There are several great tutorials on the web showing you how to do that if of interest.

Best,
