Installing new fonts

[Handyman]

Is it possible to add different fonts than those built in to XF.

 

[Lawrence]

You can change/add fonts in Style Properties -> General, for various elements.

Sorry, I meant can more fonts be added to the message editor. (font family)

I think I found it in this file:

js/tinymce/themes/xenforo/editor_template.js

				theme_xenforo_fonts : "Andale Mono=andale mono,times;Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Arial Black=arial black,avant garde;Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino;Courier New=courier new,courier;Georgia=georgia,palatino;Helvetica=helvetica;Impact=impact,chicago;Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Times New Roman=times new roman,times;Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,geneva;Verdana=verdana,geneva",

Just remember tho, that if you add fonts, and your members don't have those same fonts installed on their computers, they won't see them.

The way thats formatted it looks like you can include fallback fonts as well.

Heres a good resource for font stacks, but you might want to edit out the ones that most people don't use ;p.

				theme_xenforo_fonts : "Andale Mono=andale mono,times;Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Arial Black=arial black,avant garde;Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino;Courier New=courier new,courier;Georgia=georgia,palatino;Helvetica=helvetica;Impact=impact,chicago;Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Times New Roman=times new roman,times;Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,geneva;Verdana=verdana,geneva",

Well, I found it where to modify, but Dev Team need to add it to be default style option. It's not easy to add custom font.

Is there anyway that I can add fonts that everyone can view/use?

Would have to be a font that comes with Windows.

What about removing fonts ?
or removing the entire dropdown ?
and stripping out fonts that are cut and pasted ?

I just removed all fonts except Arial and Helvetica out of the code

Great job.
Post how you did it !
Someone will want to know how to do it too

 

[Kerby]

Sure, here my explanation:

Remove Fonts

js/tinymce/themes/xenforo/editor_template.js

search following part in the file:

theme_xenforo_fonts : "Andale Mono=andale mono,times;Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Arial Black=arial black,avant garde;Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino;Courier New=courier new,courier;Georgia=georgia,palatino;Helvetica=helvetica;Impact=impact,chicago;Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Times New Roman=times new roman,times;Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,geneva;Verdana=verdana,geneva",

and remove all fonts you don't want. i wanted only Arial and Helvetica (and if one has no Helvetica, switch to Arial, sans-serif, should do it automatically on Windows, but just to be sure ) So the part is now:

theme_xenforo_fonts : "Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Helvetica=helvetica,arial,sans-serif",

Change Fonttitle
You can change fonttitle by editing first part of a font-entry like i want to title "Arial" to "Custom Font":
"Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif"
-> "Custom Font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif"

After the "=" you can define which fonts should taken in which priority order, like you would do in CSS/HTML.

Please make a new thread with a good title and post this important information there.
Thanks !

How does this work with the new Xenforo?

 

[davidxd33]

For Xenforo 1.4+, I've found the file to be edited:

/js/xenforo/bbcode_edit.js

Pretty sure that there is a resource out there (maybe even 2) that detail that... one specifically that is in reference to google fonts.
