Hi,

first of all, this webiste is totally amazing :)

But I have some trouble with the fonts. I'm trying to use the layout Oasis, and the font "Montserrat" that you used doesn't have some characters that I need (I'm Hungarian :D).

So I went on Google Fonts and I found a font that was latin-extended, for example, this: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway
What should I copy from this?
Every time I tried it went back to the default font, like arial...

Thanks for your help in advance :)

Oh, wow. Typical pushy Google :P

I was using Chrome, and it gace me the .woff2 wersion. After researching if you use Firefox (or Explorel even) you get the .woff. And for some reason that works perfectly.

I use the (79. TRANSPARENTING) layout for my lj. I tried to embebed the fonts coded already existing here like Delius Swash 'Paprika';'Dancing and added to of my personal taste 'Pacifico' following this tutorial.
The thing is when I use the html code or copy paste form the google docs the whole text, the body changes the font. I mean, if I go directly to the post appears dancing font when I see the post form the homepage it appears pacifico font. I tried with the text here "Can you tell this is written in a different font?", and becomes clear the font in the homepage is one an the post itself has another.
Did I do something wrong? If you want to take a look I made a post with the same text to prove my point.
I have another issue, its connected with the fonts: LJ put more space between the sentences when I select dancing font. And it changes to serif script in the post but mantain the space (tiny text and huge space)
Thanks in adavance!

I am not completely sure where your issue is but I did notice your post on your LJ. The one that says Dancing after it doesn't actually appear to have the coding for "Dancing Script" in at least one example and the other try putting single quotes around it ( ... )
