Web fonts not accessible #12

Hello, I have the plugin installed but they do not work when I add a selector. What am I doing wrong?

webfonts commented 12 years ago

Have you enabled the plugin?

For Fonts.com, it can take a few minutes while the CDN is updated with your new selectors (the longest I've waited is around 10 minutes, but usually it's much faster than that).

Margaret,

It is working. You'll notice your testimonials are now styled with one of your fonts.

The problem you're running into is that many of your elements are assigned styles through your WYSIWYG editor, making it very difficult for a CSS selector to overwrite that style.

For example, here is some markup:

Per­for­mance

You will find it impossible to set a style for this paragraph element because your WYSIWYG editor already set font families of impact, chicago at the lowest level. In this case, the only possible way to change the font is through your WYSIWYG editor. To use CSS, you need to remove this low level styling.

This is something that can be assigned a font-family with the extension or a stylesheet:

Performance

Using firebug, we could see the needed styling might be something like:

main p

It's important that you understand how CSS and XHtml work to use the extension effectively.

Hope this helps!
