Use Lato Light or Lato Thin

[OC2PS]

How do I use the Light or Thin versions of Lato in Weaver X? I don’t see any options that allow me to do that.

I have already added the Lato family in Appearance > Theme Options > Main Options > Fonts & Custom > Weaver Xtreme Plus Font Control

Normally if you added the font properly, it would show up in any font family option drop down list.

If it does not, then you missed a step. @weaver can probably help further if you detail what you have done to install the font

When you open the Quick Use box on google/com/fonts, there is a column on the left that says “Choose the styles you want”. For Lato, the list includes 10 different styles, but only Normal 400 is checked. Check all that you want to be loaded. Then add the font to via the Weaver Xtreme font control option. (Delete the old Lato you had first.)

BUT – when you use specific “sets”, you will have to provide your own styling – either with a custom style, or an inline style. For example, to use Lato thin italic, you’ll have to define a class such as:

.lato-thin-italic {font-weight:100;font-style:italic}

i have the same problem! i have checked all the styles, but in the drop down list only lato (with a star behind it) appears. what am i missing?

thanks,

@kiwimef –

Please re-read the previous answer. To get alternate font-styles beyond the basic standard and bold, you MUST add a class, and then wrap the content you want to use that new font with that class.
