Importing Fonts into an Angular App

Question

I'm trying to import the Font "Montserrat" into my Angular4 project but it simply resets to standard.

Here's my style.css

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:500,700");

.fancyFont {
  font-family: 'Montserrat';
}

And my friend.component.html

<p class="fancyFont">Look at my Fanciness</p>

Answer 1

I figured it out.

I imported the from google fonts like this:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:500,700");

Which includes two different weights, 500 and 700. By telling the CSS which font-weight I wanted to use it began to work.

.fancyFont {
  font-family: 'Montserrat';
  font-weight: 500;
}

This is how that url looks like.

}

If you look at the local(...) sections within the content, you can see there are specific font-family names for each font-weights (500 & 700) present. So try to specify the font-family names instead of generically calling them as Montserrat like, 'Montserrat-Medium' or 'Montserrat-Bold'. See if that fixes the issue.
