      Hello everybody,

      I started my MM few days ago and I would like to change the font of it, I don’t quite like the actual one (its name is Roboto I believe). So I got an .ots file of a new font I like more (2 actually) and I’m trying to use it as the font for every modules. Problem is, I have never done that and I have no idea of how works a CSS file at all, so I would like to know how to do that (is it even possible?)

      Thanks,
      Axel

        @aaaxel so, you want to add an entry to css/custom.css that changes the font name
        which is done in the body statement in main.css (don’t edit main.css)

        if custom.css doesn’t exist, create it like this

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        touch css/coustom.css
        

        then u can edit it (custom/css) and add

        body { 
             font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif;
        }
        

        with your new font family instead

            @aaaxel i’m not sure what you said…

            fonts go in the fonts folder, yes?

                @hango Cool! It half-worked: Most of the fonts have changed, but there is still some text in roboto, especially in the default news module…

                        @hango I just tried your 2 solutions but newsfeed still don’t change…

                        This is what I have in custom.css:

                        @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Spartan:wght@200;400;600;800&display=swap');
                        
                        body { 
                             font-family: "Spartan", sans-serif;
                             font-weight: 800;
                        }
                             .newsfeed {
                             font-family: "Spartan", sans-serif;
                             font-weight: 600;
                        }
                        
                        

                        I also tried this way:

                        @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Spartan:wght@200;400;600;800&display=swap');
                        
                        body { 
                             font-family: "Spartan", sans-serif;
                             font-weight: 800;
                             .newsfeed {
                             font-family: "Spartan", sans-serif;
                             font-weight: 600;
                        }
                        
                        }
