Blocs 4.4 - New Feature Poll

That’s what Pete was talking about. Firefox doesn’t seem to support the css-property backdrop-filter blur yet. Not sure why not, but it’ll come eventually. I happen to see the same on a website I’m currently working on.

That’s something Blocs can’t change. The Firefox developers can.

I can verify blur not yet working on my desktop Firefox, but seems to work on mobile Firefox. Works on desktiop+mobile Safari & Chrome. Using Blocs 4.3.1.

Thanks guys, understood!

It would be amazing if Blocs supports Lottie animations.
This sort of animations are being supported everywhere and are really light on load.
One suggestions for maybe a quicker support would be for Blocs or a third party developer to develop a brick. I would be first on line to buy that brick :slight_smile:

I have had a good play around with Lottie animations and really liked what I saw.

They do work in Blocs - just not really found the right time to use them !!!

Hi @wcitizen

There was a thread about this last year.

Hi Malachiman,

Thank you for sharing this thread. I will take a look.

All the best

Interesting outcome! I did not expect to see a missing font manager score so highly!

Neither did I. My choice came last!

I’ve been talking about this with many of Blocs users for a very long time. It would be amazing if it finally comes to Blocs 4.4 :slight_smile:

Just missed the poll which closed 1 day ago.

Still I give my voice :smiley:

:raised_hands: Font Manager (to install webfonts; just post an help request for that few days ago)
:raised_hands: Add Body class (directly related to Font Manager)

Thanks.

What sort of issue you got for installing fonts in Blocs? I don’t get it tbh.

Here is the link of my post. Meanwhile, I did a workaround by manually replacing font-family and adding some classes (body, h1…) in the style.css. But it’s painful if I have to modify the file after each site export. Or did I missed something ?

i got similar issues on a particular template which was firstly built with google fonts.
Have you disable google fonts in the project settings?
try a dummy template on a brand new project, then export, it should work.
Also the fact that you stack your fonts in the project might be the issue. Just guessing.
I use a independant folder located in my home directory.

looking forward to this too!!

Good guess :grinning:

I removed Google Font from the project and subsequent classes where a Google Font was selected. Everything reverted to the basic classes then I declared classes for body, H1, p, a, etc. in my font css file (with !important) and it works !

Still waiting for a custom font manager in Blocs :wink:

Thanks Jerome.

Just to clarify Blocs already has a font manager.

The new feature is a Missing Font Manager. It just detects missing fonts in projects and templates.

Hu, I wasn’t aware of this font manager in Blocs preferences. Thanks @Norm
I followed the procedure to add local webfonts.

Still I get an error when adding the 3rd font I need as you can see in this short screen movie. Kontora-Bold isn’t listed but I get the message “already installed”. I tried to quit and relaunch Blocs. No way. Kontora-Bold don’t list either in Typography Pane.

Also it still need to add the provided webfont css file which start with @import, mandatory for webfont licence.

This does not necessarily have to be due to Blocs, maybe the metadata is not specified correctly in the font itself. Maybe in this case the font style ExtraBlack is set in the font Kontora-Bold instead of Bold. And that’s why Blocs says the font is already installed. Because the file name doesn’t matter, the metadata in the font is what counts.

Or perhaps, just by mistake, Kontora-ExtraBlack was renamed Kontora-Bold? And so you unknowingly try to install the same font twice?
