Hey Gurus,
I'm new to atom and unable to successfully link google fonts with multiple word titles? I'm using plus signs ? In the screenshot below, "Barrio" is successfully linked and displayed while "Architects+Daughter" is not. Any help? greatly appreciated!!

Hi there,

I'm not a developer, and many of our team are away today as it is a holiday in BC where Artefactual is based, but: based on a few examples I saw when looking through resources like StackExchange, I don't think you should use the + sign when declaring the font family - have you tried that with just a regular space? Don't forget that you might want to clear the application cache, and your browser cache, after making changes, to ensure you're seeing the most up-to-date work.

Another idea: have you tried downloading a local copy of the Google font you want to use, adding it to a directory accessible from your AtoM instance, and referencing it locally instead? My one thought is that, if necessary, you might be able to edit the font file and change the name (perhaps just remove the space altogether), and do the same to the file title, so you can work around the issue?

I'll ask one of our developers if they have any ideas when they are available. In the meantime, here are some general resources that might help you with theming work:

You nailed it! I guess there is no need to keep the + sign when declaring a font name in a css stylesheet. Many many thanks for the awesome response, I'll check out those links shortly.

Mahalos.
