Closed ccwalburn closed 1 year ago

Quick summary

The font used in the editor for sites with certain themes changed today so it no longer matches the front-end font. So far this is reported in:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Change theme on simple site to one of the themes listed
  2. Edit post
  3. View the font style

What you expected to happen

I expected the font to match the default font set for the site

What actually happened

The font was set to serif

I cannot confirm that it used to always match whatever font was selected for the site, but it definitely changed from a sans serif style font to a serif style font today.

Thank you for reporting this @ccwalburn !

What I'm experiencing right now is the font display a serif font in the editor, whereas the frontend displays the one set in the Customizer. Is that happening for you as well?

ccwalburn commented 3 years ago

Hey @Robertght Yes, that is what I see, too. @nickpagz discovered that you can bring back the system font by turning off the Use theme styles toggle on the Preferences screen in the editor (click the three dots to the right of the Jetpack icon, and then select Preferences)

sajmes commented 3 years ago

I encountered this here 4377459-zd-woothemes with theme The Journalist v1.9

I worked around it as suggested in the comment above.

Update this issue to cover the various themes affected so far. If more are reported - please add the to the main issue (top comment).

chad1008 commented 3 years ago

I was able to reproduce this in vanilla Gutenberg, specifically using Nucleare, so I've reported over in the wordpress/Gutenberg repo: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/35730

philnick206 commented 3 years ago

Have a report in #4384710-zen with the theme Independent Publisher 2

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same issue, this user was also having issues when trying to change the font color by highlighting the text, clicking on the down arrow in the menu that appears, selecting "Highlight" and then changing the color. It initially seems to work, but when the user previews, the front end just shows black text with yellow highlighting.

Similar thing was happening for this user: font color was not updating on front end via the same method 322655090-hc Theme: edin

formosattic commented 3 years ago

Updated initial post with workaround.

Go to Preferences in the editor (three dot menu) and turn of the User Theme Styles. image

Also looks like this was an issue that was previously closed, https://github.com/Automattic/themes/issues/3280

Another report: 4378950-zd-woothemes Personal Plan, Theme: Rowling

The user's editor preferences are set to "Use theme styles" already, and the font still appears as serif in the editor.

Left a comment on Multiple Themes: Editor font styles not loading in Gutenberg v9.9.3 as well - not sure exactly where is the best place to report.

ccwalburn commented 3 years ago

Hey @cuemarie ! The fix is to uncheck the "Use theme styles" checkbox.

jordesign commented 3 years ago

I'm consolidating the interaction references from https://github.com/Automattic/themes/issues/3280 to track everything in a single location. I'm just bringing over the reports from the last week (after that issue was re-opened).

It looks like a fix is being worked on in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/35730 so we'll keep an eye on that:

Greatdane commented 2 years ago

@ccwalburn - I think this issue may be fixed - can I confirm the issue is no longer present for you?

ccwalburn commented 2 years ago

Hey @Greatdane I tested on Hemingway Rewritten and Rowling and the editor font does not match the font I selected in the Customizer. However, I don't have the option to access Preferences from the three dots in the editor anymore so I can't tell if the Use Theme Styles option is selected or not.

Greatdane commented 2 years ago

Strange! I still see the Use Theme Styles option on my test sites. I am going to close this for now then. If any more reports come up we can open.

For the PA Triagers, I will not batch reply to this issue, as the most recent one is from Nov 2021, nearly 6 months ago. I think this is too old now to randomly reply to a user saying we fixed a bug 6 months later.

ccwalburn commented 2 years ago

I got another report on this and did some testing on my own and still see this issue so I am re-opening it.

I tested on a Simple site (Personal) and it occurs for both Karuna and Hew; but not for newer themes like Hever and Russell. The "Twenty" themes all seem to work, though...even the older ones like Twenty Eleven.
