How to add Chinese Google fonts?

Asked by Yung-Hung 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

I use the Educon template. My site is Chinese based pages, so I want to select some Chinese Google font such as "Noto Sans TC" as default font.
but I can't see it in the "Font Family" list.
How can I do?

Hello

There is another method that you can try:

  1. Use Google Font service to generate code
  2. Edit: templates\shaper_educon\index.php
    and add code there in < head > section, before end.
  3. Then inside custom.css file add rest of code from Google Fonts generator
    Of course with your class name(!), for example:
    .bigletter {font-family: 'IBM Plex Sans', sans-serif;}

thanks for reply.
I've tried the step 1 and 2 you've told, but failed on step 3.
I can't find the "custom.css" files under the \templates\shaper_educon. Where can I find it?

Moreover, is there a way that I can choose the font via drop-down menu in the template's Typography page? I want to set HEADING 1 to Heading 6 font seperately.
Why can I choose more fonts in SP Page Builder(includes Google Noto Sans TC), but not as much as in the template?

Is there any Joomshaper staff can reply my question?

Thanks for your suggestion. If I switch the template to Helix Ultimate, there are truely Chinese google fonts support.
However for now I am planning to use the "Educon" template, but I can't see any Chinese google font in the "Font Family" list at Typography section. I even tried a google font API but nothing happened.
Is there any way to update or increase such list in "Educon" template?
