Install Font For Website/App

I watched a video a while back that showed how to install a Google font for use on your app. I can't remember where it's at. I want to be able to install 2 styles inside one family to use.

To install and use a Google Font in your website or app, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Font from Google Fonts:

    • Go to Google Fonts.
    • Search for the font family you want to use.
    • Select the styles you need (e.g., Regular, Bold, Italic).
  2. Embed the Font in Your HTML:

    • Once you've selected the styles, Google Fonts will provide you with an embed link. Copy the <link> tag provided.

    Example:

    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
    
  3. Add the Link to Your HTML:

    • Paste the <link> tag inside the <head> section of your HTML file.

    Example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>My App</title>
        <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- Your content here -->
    </body>
    </html>
    
  4. Use the Font in Your CSS:

    • Now you can use the font family in your CSS by specifying it in the font-family property.

    Example:

    body {
        font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
    }
    
    .bold-text {
        font-weight: 700;
    }
    
  5. Optional: Import the Font in Your CSS:

    • Alternatively, you can import the font directly in your CSS file using the @import rule.

    Example:

    @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;700&display=swap');
    
    body {
        font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
    }
    
    .bold-text {
        font-weight: 700;
    }
    

By following these steps, you can easily install and use Google Fonts in your website or app.
