The text appears as regular bold instead of extra bold in Chrome

Having trouble with displaying the Open Sans Extra-Bold font? Check out the font here:

I've tried everything, but it just won't show up on my website. Any suggestions?

Here is the code on JSFiddle for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/0hhbgyrd/

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700,800');
div {
  font-size: 90px;
  font-family: Open Sans;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

.normal {
  font-weight: 400;
}

.bold {
  font-weight: 700;
}

.extra-bold {
  font-weight: 800;
}
<div class="normal">
  Blog
</div>

<div class="bold">
  Blog
</div>

<div class="extra-bold">
  Blog
</div>

UPDATE: Font displays correctly on Firefox but not on Chrome. Strange, right?

Answer №1

Rectify the flawed @import code provided by Google Fonts.

The code they gave is causing issues for me too. Before updating the whole Google Fonts page, they did not have the single quotation marks around the code, which ended up breaking it in the process of their update.

I submitted a quick fix request a few months ago when they did not have the code enclosed in parenthesis, which obviously did not work either. They made the correction but kept the single quotation marks, so it works for some users but not for everyone.

To make it work properly, simply remove the single quotation marks:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700,800);

instead of

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700,800');

I also suggest using the correct font-family markup:

font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
