We have tested our website via business catalyst here> ABOUT and then we have uploaded on the back of our existing site to work out any bugs that we may have on the local host here>  ABOUT​. Please take a look at the fonts on both sites, the business catalyst is displaying as it should with web fonts roboto slab and open sans while the site on the local host is not and it is substituting fonts.  What am I missing here?

Thank you,

  Amy

Hey Amyw,

I'm sorry you ran into trouble here.

Typekit can be used locally, however, there are some necessary steps that if left out, will cause the fonts not to render.

  • Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.

Are you sure to have uploaded everything and the same on both hosts?

You could also delete the complete content from the local host (you may have a copy from it first) and reupload everything once more.

Best Regards,

Uwe

Hey Amyw,

In order to use Typekit locally, you've got to:

  • Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.

If the local URL starts with: http:// then you're running a local server.

  • The domain of your local server has to be part of the domain list in your Kit. So, if your local server uses: localhost, you'll need to add this to your Kit's domains.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to Typekit team directly: support@typekit.com

Cheers,

Ankush
