I entered the following statement on my homepage skinn:

<dnn:DnnCssInclude ID="FontCSS" runat="server" FilePath="Font/Quicksand/static/Quicksand-Regular.ttf" PathNameAlias="SkinPath" />

Then, on the css sheet of the skinn I called the font family like this

 html, body, form { font-family: Quicksand, sans-serif;}

But it doesn't work properly ....

Any suggestions?

DNN Platform Version = 9.1.1

Workaround could be to set an @import in the portal.css

Did you inspect the HTML source (f12) to see if the font file is loaded?

BTW, I would also strongly advise you to upgrade DNN as a some serious issues have been fixed since version 9.1.1

Thanks Timo for the answer ... Yes ... the font file is loaded according to the inspector. I forgot to mention that in the Skin.css file I had also added the @font-face rule, so ... @font-face {      font-family: 'Quicksand';      src: url ('Font / Quicksand / Quicksand-Regular.ttf') format ('truetype');      font-style: normal;      font-weight: 400; } This rule, however, according to the inspector, does not appear .... Why?

When changing things in a stylesheet, I turn the browser cache off by pressing [F12], go to Network and activate the checkbox Disable Browser Cache.

Happy DNNing! Michael
