Via Webfonts uploaded Font doesn't show Umlaute Ä Ö Ü

[Tatjana241190]

Hello you,

I uploaded the font GT-Flexa which I bought. It shows on my website and I can use it without problems but unfortunately, the "Umlaute" are not shown.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Hi Tatjana @Tatjana241190

Yes i can see this problem, i believe we can do it but just have to go through some steps first, let me know if i'm wrong :)

So yeah i can see on the page that the HTML shows the Umlaut but does not register:

On the GT-FLEXA font page the Diacritics ( containing Umlauts & Other Glyphs ) have to be called from within the font using 'Stylistic sets' so they are in Stylistic Set 01 - "SS01"

• As a first step just to be sure - Are you able to convert your .ttf font file into woff or Woff2 just to be more compatible with Browsers?
  https://css-tricks.com/understanding-web-fonts-getting/#:~:text=TrueType (TTF)%3A TTF is,also called TrueType OpenType fonts.&text=Web Open Font Format (WOFF,supported%20by%20all%20modern%20browsers.

• Here is a converter:

Maybe you already have .woff so allgood then! :)

• Then if we can load that font into "Lay Options -Webfonts"

Ok! on this thread:
http://laythemeforum.com/topic/917/activate-styllistic-sets/6

Armin has given an example of using a Stylistic set on your webpage.

• if you could follow that - I dont think yours will be called "_default" but just remember to change

<style>
._Default{
font-feature-settings: "ss09";
}
</style>

With

<style>
._Default{
font-feature-settings: "ss01";
}
</style>

Let me know how you go Tatjana would love to know the results :)

Best wishes and Good Luck!
Sincerely
Richard
