Since Musicstate itself has not the raleway font with latin-ext characters avaliable (through google web fonts), I tried to fix it using font squirell. I have created a font-face kit, uploaded it to templates/gk_musicstate/fonts/raleway and tried to use it from template style manager like (see printscreen) here.

thx.

Please rename folder:
templates/gk_musicstate/fonts/raleway
to
templates/gk_musicstate/fonts/raleway-light
and it should work fine.

Please check this file:
http://www.gktemplate1.evs.sk/templates ... esheet.css
you will see that there is no raleway-light declaration, but there is ralewaylight and this makes much of a difference ;)

Thanks for answer, but there is still problem there - the issue is some code is generating <strong> tag into the content, but I do not know which one and how to get rid of it.
Would be glad for every kind of help. http://gktemplate1.evs.sk/index.php/component/k2/713/t-biblicke-skupinky-proc-a-jak example here.

try here: http://chcemviac.evs.sk/index.php/all-for-rss/795
You have to right click the page, then search the element, and turn off the font-family atribute. Then you'll see the difference, and the way we want it to be is the way, when the font-family atribute is off.

thanks for help.

It looks like custom font issue it self - it doesn't have custom bold sizes implemented.
Please edit: /templates/gk_music/css/override.css and add at its end:
Code: Select all
b, strong {
font-weight: bold;
}

Remember to enable "CSS override" in template settings - advanced section.

I still get a different font (thinner, than this one I have right now) and I think it looks better, but I do not know how to get it there. Any idea?

There is nothing you can do. Default font has different weight values and implemented in template "500" value shows exactly as you have mentioned. But the one you use doesn't have anything between bold and normal, so there is no way to force the chosen font to behave this way. But if you don't care about font on that elements, you can replace previous code with:
Code: Select all
b, strong {
font-family: sans-serif;
}

A little bit old issue, but the font I am using at http://www.chcemviac.com/kategorie/39-v ... lanky/1123 looks different in firefox, safari and chrome. How can I homogenize that?

Also, there is an issue, that bold font does not work properly (it does not work)http://www.chcemviac.com/kategorie/39-vsetky-clanky/1123 how can I solve that?

1. Font might look differ between browsers and we can not do a thing about way they are rendered by the browser engine.
2. Could you please mark the problematic place on a screenshot?

@mavievs - please create a separate forum thread.
@mavievs - you might try to increase it to 700 or using "bold" (without quotation marks) instead of the number.
