Hi there

Again,

I posted this question long time ago in the themeforest questions/answers section, but of course because they are all appended it´s very hard for my to find your answer at the time, would like it posted here to be easier to find please

I confess I don´t really like the character fonts used in Shoppica, they look like slim courier fonts and are really not easy to read, I would like to use regular times new roman, helvetica or any other of my choice and compatible with all browsers

- How can I change the theme fonts Shoppica theme will use ?

thks in advance

You need to create a web set of fonts to replace the ones it currently uses. Go to this website Font Squirrel and build the set of fonts you would like to use. Once you have completed that, go to the fonts directory “catalog/view/theme/shoppica/fonts/” and paste the generated fonts in that folder.

Once that is done, go to the CSS file located “catalog/view/theme/shoppica/stylesheet/screen.css” and replace all of the default fonts listed.

I have changed mine to Helvetica…

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Helvetica Rounded Bold';
  src: url('../fonts/helvetica_rounded_bold-webfont.eot');
  src: local('Helvetica Rounded'), url('../fonts/helvetica_rounded_bold-webfont.eot?iefix') format('eot'), url('../fonts/helvetica_rounded_bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/helvetica_rounded_bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/helvetica_rounded_bold-webfont.svg#HelveRound') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';
  src: url('../fonts/helveticaneue-extended-webfont.eot');
  src: local('Helvetica Neue'), url('../fonts/helveticaneue-extended-webfont.eot?iefix') format('eot'), url('../fonts/helveticaneue-extended-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/helveticaneue-extended-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/helveticaneue-extended-webfont.svg#Helvetica Neue') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

You will also want to find and replace the rest of the CSS font-family entries too to match.

10x for the help, esnsone!

Just to add, that using custom fonts for body text is not really recommended. You could better use the default OS fonts.

thks esn and tb support, but the second post got me a bit confused

my screen.css has


, td, th, input, textarea, select, button {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

so how shall I proceed then, can I use your 2th post example meaning I don´t have to squirrel default fonts ? or should I use 1th post method and then add the mod the reset part accordingly, but what to write on it, the generated fonts names ?

Hi,

Esnsone has explained you how to add custom fonts (different from the computer default ones) and we just pointed, where the general theme font is defined.

I’m trying to change the font in the top menu next to the home button, but nothing seems to work. It just goes from the standard ubuntu regular into what seems like a very thin, narrow helvetica (not sure if it is).

I’ve gotten the fontface kits and put them into my server as shown above, then replaced all the font families to refer to the new fontface.

Is there a different method to change the font of the top menu? Also the size?

What works: Georgie, Ubuntu Regular

What doesn’t work: Verdana, TimesNR, Bell MT, Tahoma, and a couple other random ones I found on FontSquirrel

*p.s. – the rest of the fonts on the website do change, which is good. BUT I’m trying to change the top menu bar in particular.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Are you sure, you have used the correct selector?

#categories > ul > li > a {
  font-family: "Ubuntu Regular", sans-serif;
}

There is a sample file in every Fontsquirel font-face package, you could take a look at. You will find the exact usage of the font there.

You could also try using Google fonts; it is extremely easy and you don’t need to upload any font files.

Best regards,
