Add new fonts plugin [Request]

[S?T?N]

Hey guys,

Me again

I really would like it if my forum could display a different font.
I've been browsing around, but all of the things I come across, need to be downloaded...
As I don't have a laptop or PC anymore, (and I'm hearing many ppl only use their tablets lately) I was wondering if someone could please make a plugin, which makes it easy for us 'tablet users' to install it directly to our forums.

Thanks again for any reply

Kind regards,

[Brian]

That plugin would be what you want, though you'd have to download it, then upload it in Plugins > Manage on your forum since it's not on the actual plugin library.

Hey Brian,

Thank you again for your reply.

Actually...that is the problem. As I do no have a laptop or PC, I'm unable to download anything at the moment.
The one thing that does work is, is installing plugins directly from the plugin library.

If no one is able to help me (and many other ppl) out with this, I'll just use the fonts available then.

Thanks for the help tho

You could tag the author in that thread and ask them if they're willing to upload it to the plugin library for you.

Brilliant!! Brian

Thanks I'll try that

Bennett 🚀, would it be possible to add this plugin to the plugin library?
I'll even say 'please'

Kind regards,

Hey Brian,

A friend of mine was kind enough to help me download it, so I got it now.
Now the next problem I'm facing is, I added the font name 'Jolly Lodger' in the name field, but I can't find that don't anywhere
Once again I've also browsed ipokemons thread, but that doesn't bring me much help...

Do you have any idea how I would be able to use this font as default font in posts?

Thank you again for any reply.

Kind regards,

[Brian]

If you want to change the actual font of posts you'll need to manually add CSS to the bottom of your forum's style sheet in Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet. Adding a font through the plugin doesn't change any of the font dropdowns in any of the editors on the forum.

.posts .post .message, .messages .item .message { font-family: 'Jolly Lodger'; }

Thank you again for the reply Brian,

I've added the CSS at the bottom of the style sheet, tho it did not change the font of the posts and I cannot find it in the drop down menu mate lol
Any idea?

[Brian]

What's the link to your forum?

Faithless

Thnx Brian mate

S?T?N, you can also get Google webfonts that have been added to your forum to show up in your font picker if you install the following script: Add Google Webfonts to Font Picker

Just a heads up, Proboards now actively discourages authors from using the livequery extension due to performance anxieties so this template script will be rewritten utilizing an alternate method. While at it I figured I would just add recognition for fonts added through iPokemon's webfont plugin. If you desire additional features and/or encountering problems that have not been brought to my attention please post them here now or forever hold your peace.

Thank you Chris mate,

Appreciate the help and link!!
Tho I actually want it as a default text for the forum posts

The font looks great with my theme and if members want to use a different font, they can choose from the default ones lol

[S?T?N]

Did I post it in the right place Brian?

Or is something interfering with the CSS?

[Brian]

Try removing the 300 you added in the plugin settings. It looks like it doesn't come in that font weight.

Also, change the CSS I gave you to this.

.posts .post .message, .messages .item .message { font-family: 'Jolly Lodger'; font-size: 16px; }

You can change the green number to your preferred font size, but that's close to how the regular font size looked before adding the font.

And once again you are awesome Brian!!

Thank you so much!!
