TypeKit not working for me

Recommended Posts

Hi, How exactly do I link the TypeKit selectors to the Platform theme? Do I need to find the name of each selector in Firebug and then add that to TypeKit to get it to work? Or do I need to make a custom CSS rules? Thanks, Brett

Yes you will have to add the selectors that you want TypeKit to use. Did you already add the script to the theme options? If so then you can just pick up the the selectors using a browser developer toolbar and them to typekit.

Thanks Adam, A follow-up... Sorry for being dense here. I got Firebug installed and I can right click/inspect an element and get the CSS stuff, but is there an easier way? E.g. is there a published list of the tags Platform uses? Or must I dig though each one to figure out what styling is active? Also, is there an easy way to just over-ride the defaults for the whole site, then tweak from there? E.g. if it's currently using the Georgia font family, how can I easily override this to another font family? I know I'll still have to then tweak individual elements, but seems easier? Is this common way to do things? (I'm still figuring out best practices for web dev). Thanks!

with Typekit you can override things by just adding the right selectors to Typekit.. The support people over there might actually be better at helping you get started with their service. Firebug helps you figure out which selectors you need to add to Typekit. Use the inspect button, and at right you'll see the currently setup selectors on your site. Start there.
