HTML archive: Css for fonts

AppsApps
edited February 2014 in General Discussion
I am making extensive use of html archive in my latest app.
In 3 html  archive activities I am using a css file which I link to all sub-pages. The css includes a google font which I want visible in all text pages.
Of course, the font itself is also inside the archive and I am calling it locally.
In browser all are OK, the font appears, in Andromo nothing.
Could you think of a possible reason for this and if it's something I can fix somehow?

    Hey @anteos, try this: http://ruel.me/blog/2011/02/03/using-google-fonts-locally/

    It worked for me.

    Thanks @hendrixs!
    More or less it was what I had done. The only difference was my font was woff format (so I used a converter to turn it to ttf and changed the css). It worked on browser, didnt work inside Andromo still.
    So all in all, might be the particular font I chose but it has not worked yet for me.
    My css is:

    @font-face {
      font-family: 'Cagliostro';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
      src: local('Cagliostro'), local('Cagliostro'), url('font.ttf') format('truetype');
    }

    Any suggestions possibly?

    This is what I have in my HTML file:

      <head>
        <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">
        <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Average|Courgette" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
      </head>

    And this is what I have in my CSS file:

    @font-face {
      font-family: 'Open Sans';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
      src: local('Open Sans'), local('OpenSans'), url('Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
    }

    @font-face {
      font-family: 'Oswald';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: normal;
      src: local('Oswald'), local('Oswald'), url('Oswald/Oswald-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
    }

    body
    {
        font-family: 'Open Sans';   
        font-size: 14px;
    }

    Hope this helps.

    EDIT: the fonts should be located in their own folders where you keep the HTML and CSS file. Example:

    Working Folder
      Open_Sans (folder)
      Oswald (folder)
      index.html
      style.css

    Ahmm! I had the font in exactly the same folder as index and style.css. Maybe that's the reason why then.
     I will set my css as is yours.
    Thanks again mate, I will let you know if I find a way.

    Sadly it did not work still :(
  • InsplisityInsplisity
    Sorry to hear that, I'm not sure how could I help you any further. :-( This is how I do it and it's OK. Maybe try doing this with the same fonts I used. You can download them for free from the internet.
  • AppsApps
    Yup it's what I plan to do, replicate your css to see if it works and then try to change it in steps to reach to my plan.
    Thank you for your help.

    You're welcome. :)

    I kept trying and nothing worked on my smartphone LG L3 with Android 2.3.3.
    When I got pissed and quit the idea of fonts, I loaded the same apk in my emulator and the font showed :)

    Can i just say something (might not be relevant but when I'm using HTML/CSS...)
    Sometimes, my app doesn't update even when i have downloaded a newer version to my phone BUT
    after i have gone to:
    Settings/Apps/MyApp/ - Clear cache etc   And then downloaded the newer App - It works!
    Again - This may not even be relevant but might be(?!?) 
    :)
  • AppsApps
    Yup I have noticed it too. However, it wasnt my case this time, because the app reflected other changes I had made.
