This is a strange one, I'm building a mini-site on a sub domain and want to use the font I've been using on the main site. Inika 400 is the font, but it doesn't appear in the list on the new site!

All the font: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2160796/1.0_links/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-01%20at%2013.11.17.png 2 missing fonts: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2160796/1.0_links/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-01%20at%2013.11.31.png

Help much appriciated :+1:

Yes it is google web fonts.

while the fonts were named different in the module, on screen the 400 looked the same as the 'regular'.

thanks James

James,

I think the fonts would look very close to each other and slightly
different depending on the viewing device.

The reason that there is a difference between the two font sets is because
due to limitations in the Google API, I can only query their database of
fonts something like 5000 times a month. This would be an issue with all
the installations of Web Fonts, and in order to get around it, it queries
once when the extension is first ran and saves the results to the Joomla
database. Then a few days later (10 I think), it updates the database
with the changes Google has made.

I'm going to look further into this issue and see if Inika 400 is showing
up in the results of a fresh install and whether that font is available on
Google's own site.

John,

Thank you very much for your great module and explanation of the problem.

We are happy with the result too, the fonts look the same, and could be the same anyway,

Thanks for your time. James
