Possible to use different font?

somnathrakshit commented 3 years ago

Is there an easy way to use a different font for the website?

Unfortunately no, to change the font you need to modify the theme itself. I don't plan to add the option of changing fonts because Inconsolata is at the core of this theme's design and I'm not even sure it is programmatically possible with Hugo themes, sorry.

But you're welcome to directly edit the code or fork this theme. Here are the lines you need to change: https://github.com/ojroques/hugo-researcher/blob/51fc9574a00b9399a8734a9849e8c2796ea05e75/layouts/partials/head.html#L9 https://github.com/ojroques/hugo-researcher/blob/51fc9574a00b9399a8734a9849e8c2796ea05e75/assets/sass/researcher.scss#L39

I've just pushed support for font customization: you can now select the font to use in your website config.

The font you choose must be present at the visitor side. Therefore you must either:

Choose a font that is very common such as Arial etc. Or select Inconsolata which is installed by default by the theme.
Or modify this line to download the font you want.
Or self-host the font and add a link to it in the sass file here. See CSS Web Fonts (section Using The Font You Want) for how to do that.
