I have a Blocs 6.4 site using largely downloaded Google Montserrat webfont family which shows correctly on preview in Blocs. However, from the server online, Chrome on desktop shows the fonts correctly, as do DuckDuckGo and Comet browsers. However, Safari substitutes Montserrat with a serif font. On iOS, both on iPhone and iPad, Safari AND Chrome both substitute the serif font. My upload from Blocs contains all necessary formats of the font files, correctly stored in the fonts folder, and this problem seems only to have occurred recently, perhaps only in the last month, prior to which there did not appear to be any problem with fonts. The font files on the server have remained unchanged. Updates to Safari and Chrome are so commonplace that I have no record when either browser was last updated!
All a bit of a puzzle. Can anyone advise a solution to this problem, or point me in the right direction towards fixing it? Also, is there any means in Blocs to specify fallback fonts? Any help appreciated.
I recently have experienced issues with fonts, but locally (not displaying web fonts inside blocs). Try the latest beta and see if that solves your problem so you can wait for the next update (save on a different server folder to test).
Rich: I am using the latest beta and it is working great for me, but I think my issue was related to my system and not to blocs because it was happening on my B5 app too. Thanks to Norm help it works again with that beta fixes.
Self hosted is usually something you do because you use a very specific font that’s not on Adobe or Google fonts, or because you are in the EU and have additional GDPR rules to adhere to.
Sincere apologies for not replying to any of your comments above. i’ve been swamped with other work, all of which had deadlines. Promise I’ll get back to this thread in a day or two to update you on how things are now.
