Ribfest-Chicago.com -- currently a static landing page until I get things figured out about the "Fest" theme our group purchased.

The logo of the event uses a font purchased from MyFonts.com and seeing that this template supported @fonts and Myfonts webfonts are @fonts, and not thoroughly reading the font documentation prior to purchasing, I thought I would be able to use my webfont (Zapitsta) in lieu of the supplied fonts for the heading. But now I see that the theme only loads google, squirrel or Adobe fonts. I want to use my font. How do I do that? Why can't I do that?

Hi,

The Google Webfonts, Adobe Fonts, and Squirell fonts are supported by the GavernWP framework in the back-end, but you can do simple trick which will add support to other fonts in the framework :)

Please rename a directory with your font to this font-family name, then place this directory (with font files and CSS file) in the fonts/ directory inside the theme directory.

The last thing you have to do is change the CSS filename to stylesheet.css. Then you will be able to select your own font as a Squirell font :)
