Time to PowerUp your student experience with your own set of fonts
There are 3 settings for each heading type 1-4 and can be controlled independently.
Drop down: Choose Custom Color or Font if you want to change the font+color otherwise it will use the default
Color: Choose the color when Custom Color or Font is selected, otherwise it will be ignored
Font Family: This is where you would paste the font family name (font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive;). This is only applied when you have Choose Custom Color or Font setting.
Keep the fonts.google.com tab open as we will need one more piece of info in a second.
Keep that Google Fonts tab open, plaYEAH! we will be needing that in a second. For now let's go back to Site Builder (you should already have another tab open) where we just styled our background color from Quick Win #1 in the prevous step. Head to the Custom Fonts settings box and paste that code snippet you just copied from Google Fonts.
We are almost there - just one thing left to do. Now we need to assign that font to the places we want to use it. First head back to that Google Fonts tab I told you to keep open just a few short moments ago (if you were not paying attention or accidentally closed it, then have no fear - just open a new tab and do it again). On the right side, right under the section we just were in - there is another area that says "CSS rules to specify families" Just double click inside that area so it selects the text font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive; then be sure to copy it to the clipboard.
plaYEAH! your player got some new fonts! Nice job!.
Pro Tip: If you use a lot of "text lessons" or use "text under video" in your courses you know what a pain in the you know where, it is to have to create consistant style across all of these lessons. And heavens forbid, if you want to change colors or fonts, then you would have to spend a load of time changing that in every single course. Unless you know about the next Quick Win in your plaYEAH! super powers belt.
