In order to have a consistent look across my entire website, I am interested in utilizing the "Algerian" font for all text. Rather than manually changing the font for each HTML tag individually, I am seeking a more efficient method.
button{font-family:Algerian;}
div{font-family:Algerian;}
I want to avoid using the below method as well:
div, button, span, strong {font-family: Algerian;}
Insert the font-family declaration within a body selector:
body {
font-family: Algerian;
}
Subsequently, all elements on your webpage will automatically inherit this specified font family (unless you decide to override it at a later point).
*{font-family:Algerian;}
Check out a more efficient solution here: Applying a single font to an entire website with CSS
When using the universal selector *, it applies styles to all elements on a page. For example, applying the font family Algerian:
*{
font-family:Algerian;
}
However, this can cause issues when using icon fonts like FontAwesome, as it overrides their specific font requirements and may hide the icons.
To prevent this, you can utilize the :not selector. For instance, if you have a FontAwesome icon like
<i class="fa fa-bluetooth"></i>*:not(i){
font-family:Algerian;
}
This will apply Algerian font style to all elements except those with the tag name <i>. You can further specify by excluding classes:
*:not(.fa){
font-family:Algerian;
}
Similarly, you can exclude multiple classes by chaining selectors like so:
*:not(i):not(.fa):not(.YourClassName){
font-family:Algerian;
}
* { font-family: Algerian; }
The wildcard selector * applies to all elements.
To prevent mobile devices from altering the font to their default, utilize the important declaration in combination with the universal selector * :
* { font-family: Algerian !important;}
To ensure consistency with font usage across different browsers, you can follow these two methods:
body, input, textarea {
font-family: Algerian;
}
body {
font-family: Algerian !important;
}
Keep in mind that certain elements like pre/code, kbd, etc will still display in a monospace font, so it's recommended to use a monospace font for those specific cases.
It's worth noting that if the chosen font isn't widely available on users' operating systems, a fallback font from the list will be utilized. In this case, since no second font is specified, the default serif font (likely Times New Roman) will be used, except on Linux systems.
To address this issue, consider using @font-face for free downloadable fonts or include multiple fallback options (e.g., sans-serif, cursive, monospace, serif) to ensure compatibility across different platforms.
(*) Windows uses Comic Sans as the default cursive font, which may not be ideal for general use. Unless you have a specific reason for using it, it's best to avoid it. Perhaps reserve it for special occasions like children's birthday parties.
To maintain consistent font style throughout your website, include the following code in the head section of your Page(s) if the body content requires the use of the same font:
<style type="text/css">
body {font-family:FONT-NAME ;
}
</style>
Any text between the <body> and </body> tags will be displayed with the specified font.
After encountering a particular issue, I experimented with various solutions.
I opted to use the Ubuntu-LI font, so I established a font directory within my project folder named "fonts."
After some trial and error, I managed to successfully implement it. Here is the code that worked for me:
To ensure uniformity across my website, I placed the code at the beginning of the CSS document, above all Div tags (although their order doesn't impact functionality - individual font assignments after this script will take precedence).
@font-face{
font-family: "Ubuntu-LI";
src: url("/fonts/Ubuntu/(Ubuntu-LI.ttf"),
url("../fonts/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-LI.ttf");
}
*{
font-family:"Ubuntu-LI";
}
If I wished to style all H1 tags differently, like using a sans-serif font, I would include the following:
h1{
font-family: Sans-sarif;
}
In this scenario, only my H1 tags would display in the sans-serif font while the rest of the page maintains the Ubuntu-LI font.
When using Bootstrap, the web inspector indicates that the Headings are set to inherit
To change the font on my page I only had to do the following:
div, p {font-family: Algerian}
This code was placed in the .scss file
*{font-family:Algerian;}
I found this HTML code to be effective. I integrated it into the canvas settings on my WordPress site.
The result looks really stylish - much appreciated!
