Trying to work with custom fonts

[FoxdenVixen]

On a previous site I was able to use custom fonts. That was using v3 of buddyboss and a webfont kit from fontsquirrel.com. A year later now I am trying to add a custom font to my current site and I can’t get it to work. I have uploaded the custom fonts to the CSS folder along with the generated font.css stylesheet. In functions I added a line below the line that calls the custom.css page and renamed that to font.css. When doing an inspect element, Chrome has a strikethrough on the custom font. Why is this happening? I don’t want to use a special plugin. The font I am trying to use is free and is called cinzel decorative regular. The @fontface has it as .cinzel_decorativeregular. and I have placed this using font-family where I want the font to appear.

@foxdenvixen you will need to use !important to change the font family. But really using a font plugin is the easiest way to go. Specifically Google has a great font plugin for WordPress.

I will check to see if cinzel is part of the google lineup. Thanks.
