Ignore fonts when displaying in GMail #64

Closed belgoros closed 8 years ago

belgoros commented 8 years ago

I can't figure out why the external fonts are not taken into account for a mail template displayed in GMail. No problems in Mail on OS X. I reference the fonts as follows in my mai template:

    link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:bold" rel="stylesheet"
    link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:light" rel="stylesheet"

Any ideas on how to sole that ? Thank you.

Gmail, like most email clients, do not support custom webfonts. Emails should be written like websites were made in the early 2000s: Tables for layout, no custom fonts, no JS, etc.

You could go for progressive enhancement since there's a few number of clients that do support it, but don't count on it working in most cases.

Here's one discussion of it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28747848/gmail-not-showing-correct-font

I wish I could help you out more.
