Hi!
http://derka.pickupguild.ru/
There is a problem with fonts thickness, when I'm using Russian. Figures thickness is OK, but word's thickness is different.
I need to change word's thickness, it's should be the same as figures/
I'm new in Joomla, so sorry if it's a stupid question.
Thanks for help.
Regards, Peter

Hi

I think Your Open Sans font does not support cyrylic. Please simply in template settings change to a font which does. Here are available fonts with links to use in template settings in order to use them: http://www.google.com/fonts/

I thought the same. It's Open Sans by Google and in google tool it's looks good. The thickness is same.

Hi

Yes, but in Your case font is not loaded completly. No cyrylic characters are included. Your link to font in template configuration looks like:

//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700

and it should be:

//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,600,700,800,400&subset=latin,cyrillic-ext

Thanks, Teitbite! Now it works fine. Figures and words have the same thickness.
But there is another question. How can I change font's thickness? I try to change word weight, but nothing happens. In google tool I can use thin 100 for cyrillic.
How can I resolve this problem.
Regards, Peter.

Hi

Probably there is no that many options for cyrylic than lating chars. I can see that it changes to bolder with font-weight: 800, but not to the smaller one.

Yes, I saw it too.
But if google tool shows such thickness, it means I can use it? Or not?

Hi

I can see there is a space in fornt of some of the values in this font link. Please remove it from template settings and try to add it manually at the end of file /layout/blocks/head.php

Code: Select all: <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,300italic,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic,800,800italic&subset=latin,cyrillic,cyrillic-ext' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
