Squirrel fonts?

Hey guys,

I am confused...

I am trying to use a Squirrel Font for the body on the Steakhouse 3.0 site. First I download my .ttf font. Then I go to Squirrel font and generate a web kit. Next I move the files from this web kit into a new font folder in /templates/gk_steakhouse/fonts. In this directory are a .eot, .svg, .ttf and .woff. Then I go to Template Manager, then the Fonts tab. I select Squirrel and then the name of the font. Then I click save and reload.

Now all that is happening is my body font is Arial rather than the font I uploaded.
I can successfully set a Google Font instead of a Squirrel.

Why is it not recognising my Squirrel Font? I've downloaded and tried several fonts but all have the same result?

Any thing obvious I have missed?

I think you should point to css file that loads the fonts, not font files itself.

OK. So how do I do this?

Does there just need to be a .css file (such as stylesheet.css) in the font folder in /templates/gk_steakhouse/fonts/ ?

Thanks

No, you need both - the generated css and font files. The generated css should correctly point to font files.
Without sample implementation on a sample page I can't help much further.
Could you please post an url to your site - to a sample page where the change should be made?
