Using external fonts

To use external fonts in mAuthor it is necessary to perform the following steps:

  • Download the font file in .ttf format.
  • Upload all font files to mAuthor by going to the Assets tab associated with your template.
  • If the .ttf file uploaded in Assets appeared on the list as e.g. '/file/serve/4897607679737856', then you should replace the path in the CSS file with the mAuthor path.

Example entries in CSS:

@font-face {    
font-family: 'questrial';
src: url('/file/serve/6284968015691776');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {    
font-family: 'questrial';
src: url('/file/serve/6284968015691776');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {    
font-family: 'questrial';
src: url('/file/serve/6284968015691776');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}

Now you can paste the above CSS code in the lesson's CSS (Presentation->Edit CSS), or in the template's code if you are using one. From now on you can use font-family: 'questrial'; declaration for other modules like Text, etc.
