I want to use Google's Roboto font on my website and I am following this tutorial:
I have downloaded the file which has a folder structure like this:
Now I have three questions:
- I have css in my
media/css/main.css
url. So where do I need to put that folder? - Do I need to extract all eot,svg etc from all sub folder and put in
fonts
folder? - Do I need to create css file fonts.css and include in my base template file?
The example he uses this
Tera term download for mac. Tera Term (or TeraTerm) by T. Teranishi is a well-known open source terminal emulator that comes with a SSH module. Unfortunately, there is no information about Tera Term for Mac. However, you might want to try other applications that can easily replace its functions.
What should my url look like, if I want to have the dir structure like:
/media/fonts/roboto

You don't really need to do any of this.
- Go to Google's Web Fonts page
- search for
Roboto
in the search box at the top right - Select the variants of the font you want to use
- click 'Select This Font' at the top and choose the weights and character sets you need.
The page will give you a
<link>
element to include in your pages, and a list of sample font-family
rules to use in your CSS. Using Google's fonts this way guarantees availability, and reduces bandwidth to your own server.

There are TWO approaches that you can take to use licensed web-fonts on your pages:
- Font Hosting Services like Typekit, Fonts.com, Fontdeck, etc., provide an easy interface for designers to manage fonts purchased, and generate a link to a dynamic CSS or JavaScript file that serves up the font. Google even provides this service for free (here is an example for the Roboto font you requested). Typekit is the only service to provide additional font hinting to ensure fonts occupy the same pixels across browsers.JS font loaders like the one used by Google and Typekit (i.e. WebFont loader) provide CSS classes and callbacks to help manage the FOUT that may occur, or response timeouts when downloading the font.
- The DIY approach involves getting a font licensed for web use, and (optionally) using a tool like FontSquirrel's generator (or some software) to optimize its file size. Then, a cross-browser implementation of the standard
@font-face
CSS property is used to enable the font(s).This approach can provides better load performance since you have a more granular control over the characters to include and hence the file-size.
Long story short:
Using font hosting services along with @font-face declaration gives best output with respect to overall performance, compatibility and availability.

UPDATE
Roboto: Google’s signature font is now open source
You can now manually generate the Roboto fonts using instructions that can be found here.

Old post, I know.
This is also possible using CSS
rocksteadyrocksteady@import url
:1,15022 gold badges1515 silver badges2929 bronze badges
The
src
refers directly to the font files, therefore if you place all of them on /media/fonts/roboto
you should refer to them in your main.css like this:src: url('./fonts/roboto/Roboto-ThinItalic-webfont.eot');
The
.
goes one folder up, which means you're referring to the media
folder if the main.css is in the /media/css
folder.You have to use
./fonts/roboto/
in all url references in the CSS (and be sure that the files are in this folder and not in subdirectories, such as roboto_black_macroman
).Basically (answering to your questions):

I have css in my media/css/main.css url. So where do i need to put that folder
You can leave it there, but be sure to use
src: url('./fonts/roboto/
Do i need to extract all eot,svg etc from all sub folder and put in fonts folder
If you want to refer to those files directly (without placing the subdirectories in your CSS code), then yes.
Do i need to create css file fonts.css and include in my base template file
Not necessarily, you can just include that code in your main.css. But it's a good practice to separate fonts from your customized CSS.
Here's an example of a fonts LESS/CSS file I use:
(In this example I'm only using the ttf)Then I use
ArmfootArmfoot@import 'fonts';
in my main.less file (less is a CSS preprocessor, it makes things like this a little bit easier)3,43211 gold badge3232 silver badges5555 bronze badges
Use /fonts/ or /font/ before font type name in your CSS stylesheet. I face this error but after that its working fine.

Did you read the How_To_Use_Webfonts.html that's in that zip file?
After reading that, it seems that each font subfolder has an already created .css in there that you can use by including this:

it's easy
every folder of those you downloaded has a different kind of roboto font, means they are different fonts
example: 'roboto_regular_macroman'
Youtube ad blocker download for mac. to use any of them:
1- extract the folder of the font you want to use
2- upload it near the css file
3- now include it in the css file
example for including the font which called 'roboto_regular_macroman':
watch for the path of the files, here i uploaded the folder called 'roboto_regular_macroman' in the same folder where the css is
then you can now simply use the font by typing
font-family: 'Roboto';
