Good Evening, I am wondering what I might have missed, when the [typeface] fonts set up displays okay in sumulate view, but not in preview nor on live site? I have also viewed in my phone live site via chrome browser, but no joy?
Thanks
Hi @Jacko,
Have you read the Typeface documentation and (importantly) watched the videos?
Iâd strongly recommend you self-host your fonts (full instructions in the video, which will take you step-by-step from zero to expert in no time).
Self-hosting eliminates any potential issues pulling fonts from Google, etc, on page load.
If this still gives you issues, weâll need to see your project file (Upload it to a file-sharing service, and post the link here).
Good Morning, thanks for following up with me, may I ask the question this way?
Can I assume that standard fonts, are any fonts that have been validated via âFont Bookâ when using Apple? And when searching a font name that does not appear as found in Google fonts search, to be not a Google Font, and that typekit font sources would be from Adobe? And finally that a self hosting font has come from any where else?
In this instance I have validated a font, via Font book found supplied in Apple. I am having great difficulty to move a font from font book to the resources folder for example?
Hi, the FontBook will not help you here. When you are using âSystem Fontsâ, these refer to the basic fonts already installed in most operating systems. But no special font you may find in your FontBook.
The best way to do this is to self host your fonts. Adam has talked about this in the documentation.
To GET the fonts, go here and download them:
Foundry 2 needs the WOFF format
Foundry 3 needs the WOFF2 format
So to use the font LATO in this example:
Foundry 2 â select HISTORIC SUPPORT, download the file and only copy the WOFF fonts into resources
Foundry 3 â select MODERN BROWSERS, download the file and only copy the WOFF2 fonts into resources
You can disregard the CSS snippets, as Foundry handles all these.

You can, of course, go into Apple Photo Book, select the font you want, right-click, select âShow in Finderâ, and then use the fontâs .ttf file over on Font Squirrelâs Webfont GeneratorâŚ
Then continue, per Adamâs excellent self-hosting video. Apologies, the documentation link I posted above is for Foundry 3 - The F2 Typeface documentation is here.

Good Morning Guys, Thanks for both of your speedy responses. I have both versions 2 and 3, so thats very helpful, just this project was in V2. trying to finish it off.
For some reason it works when simulated, viewing mode as opposed to edit mode. I will follow the self hosted options. Aslo I canât select âshow in finderâ when right clicking, finder? just confusing as to weather I can use it or not? Font is (Annai MN). Thanks again I will get to it. J
Interesting. Annai MN is a MacOS system font. You are 100% correct - it doesnât allow right-clicks, and a Finder search doesnât come up with anything even after Iâve downloaded it in Font Book, for some reason above my pay-grade 
Iâm not sure whether there might be a licensing issue with this particular font, but Iâd suspect that a hunt around Google or Font Squirrel might unearth something similar that you like.

Fonts from Typeface are not rendered in Edit Mode.
