Google Fonts collaborates with type designers, foundries and the design community worldwide to create a directory of open source fonts. The fonts are free to use, making beautiful type accessible to anyone for any project.
I would like to use "Roboto" font in prestashop. I've received design in .psd files and graphic designer used fonts "Roboto Medium" and "Roboto Regular". Do i understand correctly, that when i want to use Roboto Normal I can apply:
Roboto (/roʊˈbɒt.oʊ/)[2] is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface family developed by Google as the system font for its mobile operating system Android, and released in 2011 for Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".[3]
Roboto Bold is the default font in Unreal Engine 4, and in Kodi.[6] Roboto Condensed is used to display Information on European versions of Nintendo Switch packaging, including physical releases of games.
The font was designed entirely in-house by Christian Robertson who previously had released an expanded Ubuntu Titling font through his personal type foundry Betatype.[9][10] The font was officially made available for free download on January 12, 2012, on the newly launched Android Design website.
Compared to Android's previous system font, the humanist sans-serif Droid, Roboto belongs to the neo-grotesque genre of sans-serif typefaces. It includes Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black weights with matching oblique styles rather than true italics. It also includes condensed styles in Light, Regular and Bold, also with matching oblique designs.
Roboto Slab is a slab serif font based on Roboto. It was introduced in March 2013, as the default font in Google's note-taking service Google Keep.[16] (The font was changed to the sans-serif Roboto in 2018.)[17] It is available in four weights: thin, light, regular and bold. However, no oblique versions were released for it. In November 2019, the typeface was updated and added 5 new weights: Extra-Light, Medium, Semi-Bold, Extra-Bold and Black, and a variable font axis ranging from 100 to 900. It also was modified with some characteristics from the sans-serif Roboto and to slightly resemble most slab-serif typefaces, such as "R", "K", "k", "g", "C", "S", etc.
Released in 2022, Roboto Flex is the variable font version of Roboto.[18] Roboto Flex has 12 adjustable axes, including optical size.[19] Notably, the static font version of Roboto does not have weights 200 (Extra Light), 600 (Semi Bold), and 800 (Extra Bold), which can be achieved by Roboto Flex via the weight axis. Roboto Flex supports Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic characters.
Roboto Flex was still not used as the default system font in Android, potentially replacing classic Roboto. Meanwhile, Google started to use Google Sans Text as the default system font for Android system apps (e.g. Settings) in Google Pixel devices, following other Android OEMs who introduce custom fonts to their system apps.
Inter was designed in 2017 by Rasmus Andersson who wanted a font that was easier to read on computer screens than Roboto while retaining its vertical proportions.[22] Earlier versions of Inter (then "Interface" and "Inter UI") included glyphs and followed the vertical glyph metrics (ascender and descender) from Roboto, while Roboto glyphs were included as a fallback for characters which have not been (re-)designed in Inter. Inter changed its vertical glyph metrics since 2018, making it different from that of Roboto.[23]
Inter also has an experimental "Display" version, a font which has less letter spacing and has linear endings of letters.[25] Another variant with similar purpose, Inter Tight, is specifically designed for Google Workspace and other applications that do not support control over letter spacing.[26] The latter variant shares the same glyph shapes as Inter, while the former contains redesigned glyphs which will be introduced in a future version of Inter.
Piboto is a forked version of Roboto, including the original character styles as used before the 2014 redesign. It is specifically designed and currently the system font of Raspberry Pi OS (then Raspbian) as part of their desktop UI redesign.[27]
I would like to use the Roboto font in my perspective views, but I keep getting 404 Not Found responses on the requests for the font. In the gateway logs, I can see the following error from the ThemeManager and warning from the AbstractAssetManager:
To circumvent this issue, I have also tried to add the custom css files following the instructions from this Ignition Exchange: Ignition Exchange Inductive Automation
But instead of creating a whole new theme file as well, I imported the new files into the light.css file so that the changes would reflect in the default light theme. While I can create and use e.g. new CSS variables, the Roboto font still won't work.
Sooo the fonts directory also contained a couple of Roboto font files, basically a subset from the ones in the fonts/Roboto folder. I guess this is what led to the AbstractAssetManager duplicate key error, because removing those files seems to have fixed the 404s and I don't see that error popping up anymore. Hope it stays working!
Note: Roboto is not a monospace font, so it's not the best for use in Terminal. Your terminal use will be better with a monospace font such as Inconsolata, DejaVu Sans Mono, Ubuntu Mono, or Source Code Pro.
I want to use Roboto Thin Google Webfont (weight 100) in a slightly tweaked version of the hyde-hyde theme. Google lists Roboto Thin and Thin Italic as included in the Roboto family, but the thinnest rendered appears to be weight 300 even though the CSS calls for 100.
Is it possible to include Roboto TTF font files in the Hugo directory structure? If so, where should they be put and what would be the URL to access them? Would just the URL for the Roboto normal file adequate for accessing all the other weights?
This is how the thumbnails look on any file manager on Linux, the fonts seem fine (Windows doesn't even list the regular face on the collection). Windows only lists the normal face if I remove the black face:
But I lose my black face and the italics are still rendered with the black face, so I'd have to remove the face along with its variants. What can I do? Is symlinking removing my fonts the only solution?
The problem is that both variants of the font (regular and black) interfere with each other, and I can only have one of the two installed at a time. Is there some sort of font metadata that I could change to fix this?
Sorry, it seems it has just been added to [community] and I'd wager it was brought in from the AUR and renamed. So just fix your alacritty config ... edit: but the fontconfig name doesn't appear to have changed. It's still "RobotoMono Nerd Font Mono". What is the output of the following:
At my company, we are doing some rebranding and are having some trouble deciding on a font. We want to use a sans-serif, open web font, so we don't have to worry about licensing issues, and would like to use one font with many different variations to make things easier for everyone.
We are down to Roboto and Ubuntu, more leaning towards Ubuntu. Although we do love the readability of Ubuntu, we are not thrilled at how round the font is. During the conversation, we came to the conclusion that we needed something between the two.
Open Sans and Lato are similar fonts both fit that bill (though there are certainly others). They are both very readable fonts, having high x-heights and open counters like Ubuntu, but without the Dax-like joins that makes Ubuntu seem very rounded. Incidentally, this site is currently using Open sans.
Is that really what your brand needs, or is that a conflict-avoidant decision? Roboto and Ubuntu are very different designs, the main thing they have in common is that they are both sans fonts coming in many weights and intended for user interfaces. My suspicion is that in your meeting you have a genuine disagreement which needs to be brought out in the open about what associations you're trying to build with your brand, and what criteria you're going to be judging them on. Other than the typographic details, what are the strengths and weaknesses of Roboto and Ubuntu in terms of how they contribute to the feel of your brand? I would suggest you do this before you have any more discussions about which fonts to pick - otherwise you'll end up picking a font because it is bland and does not contradict the brand that either of your stakeholder groups are trying to build.
next/font includes built-in automatic self-hosting for any font file. This means you can optimally load web fonts with zero layout shift, thanks to the underlying CSS size-adjust property used.
This new font system also allows you to conveniently use all Google Fonts with performance and privacy in mind. CSS and font files are downloaded at build time and self-hosted with the rest of your static assets. No requests are sent to Google by the browser.
Google Fonts are automatically subset. This reduces the size of the font file and improves performance. You'll need to define which of these subsets you want to preload. Failing to specify any subsets while preload is true will result in a warning.
In the example below, we use the font Inter from next/font/google (you can use any font from Google or Local Fonts). Load your font with the variable option to define your CSS variable name and assign it to inter. Then, use inter.variable to add the CSS variable to your HTML document.
When a font function is called on a page of your site, it is not globally available and preloaded on all routes. Rather, the font is only preloaded on the related route/s based on the type of file where it is used:
Every time you call the localFont or Google font function, that font is hosted as one instance in your application. Therefore, if you load the same font function in multiple files, multiple instances of the same font are hosted. In this situation, it is recommended to do the following:
