Highway Gothic font add on suggestion

[thesignalman]

I’m the admin of a forum for people who are intersected in anything related to transportation, this includes traffic signals, cars, signs, and state routes. I’m wondering if there’s an add on that will allow me to change the letter font on the nodes and the widgets to Highway Gothic, or if that’s possible.

You can use any font you want as long as it's available online (Google Fonts for example). In the case of Highway Gothic on DaFont you have to host it yourself, then call it via HTML and then use it via CSS. I suppose...

How do I do that? Step by step, show me the step by step process of doing that.

I can try :

1. Be sure that the font you want is free to use
2. Download the font from Dafont : https://www.dafont.com/highway-gothic.font
3. Convert the files TTF to WOFF : https://cloudconvert.com/ttf-to-woff
4. Upload the files in your server : .../styles/fonts/ghotic.woff
5. add in your extra.less template :

   1. @font-face {
          font-family: "ghotic";
          src: url("../styles/fonts/ghotic.woff");
      }

6. Use your font, example

   1. .block-header {
          font-family: "ghotic", serif;
      }

On step two it's only giving me the option to convert my zip file to 7Z, RAR, TAR, TAR.BZ2 or TAR.GZ

So you have ton unZip your file before to convert fonts.

When I unzipped my file, the options changed and it wouldn't let me convert to WOF

What is the extension of the files ?
