Hello,
I want to involve two different kinds of content-fonts in my Joomla 1.5 CMS so that I can choose while writting an articel. I want to involve it were I can choos already the H1-fonts etc.
Somehow this little issue becomes a hard challange for me.
How is it possible to add additional text-structure-elements in Joomla 1.5? I use the default WYSIWYG-editor.
Thank you very much indeed for helping me.

I am stuck here as well. This question was posted in several places around the forum and has never received an answer anywhere, except in one complex XML discussion which did not help me. If I have missed it in my search, can I get a hint on how to better search for the answer please?

Is there anyone who can write a set of steps to add a font to an install of 1.5? What is the format of the files, what is legal and not allowed, how is it added, will it work at all?

Someone, please?

??? ??? ??? :'(

So what I have discovered is that you cannot, of course, just add a font to the editor and expect that font to show up on a web page when people go to it. I had to say "DOH!", because obviously the system viewing the page would have the font installed as well, or there is no way to insure that, so the viewer would not see the font you added. See what I mean, DOH!

So, what I did was to create an image in Illustrator with the font I wanted as part of a picture, and then placed the picture I created into an article. Then, to make parts of the picture "clickable", I then added an HTML map and area command to the HTML of the article page to make parts of the image hot for links.

You can see what I did here: http://www.edisonlabs.net or an even better example here:
http://www.edisonlabs.net/index.php?opt ... Itemid=105

I posted elsewhere on the forum how to make picture parts hot. Hope this helps.

I have searched all possible solutions and I found that JsIFR3 is the only extension which works very well and it is free, but it still needs a lot of development to make it user-friendly:

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/6081/details

Quote:
This plugin integrates the Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR) in Joomla 1.5 and lets you use any font on your Joomla website. There are more than 14 different plugin settings that can be modified in the Joomla backend, for example text-color, font-weight etc. 11 fonts are allready included and custom fonts can be used aswell of which we offer a variety on our homepage. The sIFR version is sIFR 3 - r436 which is the newest and most stable version so far.

It took a bit for this to sink in, but remember that no matter what fonts you put INTO Joomla, if they are not also on the computers of those viewing your pages as well, they will not show up as you expect. That means for a user to see a "custom font", you would have to have code that renders it as an image and then display the image of the text on the page as an image, not as text. Otherwise, you have no way of knowing what fonts are present on computers around the world, except the standard set of fonts as defined by HTML and usually included on all computers. Even then, I have seen so called standard fonts differ from machine to machine.

The reason I did not do this is that also means that your text is now not searchable and cannot be copied or pasted either.

Is that a fact? Does that mean that my choice of font is from those 18 types I see in the Joomla editor?

As far as I can tell, this has to be the case. The viewing system would need the font in order to render it. If it does not have the font, it just picks something else.

The only other way to display an arbitrary text string in a different font is to install the software listed above (or something like it) and have the web code render the font on the fly. But I see no way to allow a page to draw a font when the font it not on the system.

That is why I choose the image method.

I realize this thread is old, but I thought I'd still post how to add a custom font regardless visitors of your site don't have the said font installed without resorting to images.

Firstly, you must do it in your themes'/template CSS file, like so;

@font-face {
font-family: RAVIE;
src: url('http://link_to_the_.TTFfont_file_on_your_server.com/RAVIE.TTF'); /* in the URL declaration you must specify the .TTF extension */
}


Then you can use the usual font-family declaration to call your font type.

p{
font-family: RAVIE; /* no .ttf */
}

And there you have it. now it doesn't matter if your visitors have that font type installed or not. everyone will see your font selection on your pages.
Enjoy!
;)

a small correction to my previous post. The above will be valid for any browser other than IE.

In order to make IE swallow what you're trying to fit down it's throat you'll have to convert the valid TTF font file to an Microsoft EOT format, and use the similar technique to embed your font into your page.

you can do it online here.

http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi

then use the same method as above for IE browsers

@font-face {
font-family: MyCustomFont;
src: url("BRLNSDB_-_Copy_-_Copy.eot") /* EOT file for IE */
}

Leave it to Microsoft to typically complicate everyone's life.. *again* no one can blame them for helping anyone except for themselves...

Go to the following folder: plugins/editors/jce/libraries/classes/editor.php
Online 371 you can see the listing of the font families. Add your font family here.

In the current version (JCE 2.0.4) the significant lines of code can be found in
administrator/components/com_jce/models/editor.php (approx. at line 486), namely

Code:
// Default font list
        $fonts = array(
            'Andale Mono=andale mono,times',
            'Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif',
            'Arial Black=arial black,avant garde',
            'Book Antiqua=book antiqua,palatino',
            'Comic Sans MS=comic sans ms,sans-serif',
            'Courier New=courier new,courier',
            'Georgia=georgia,palatino',
            'Helvetica=helvetica',
            'Impact=impact,chicago',
            'Symbol=symbol',
            'Tahoma=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif',
            'Terminal=terminal,monaco',
            'Times New Roman=times new roman,times',
            'Trebuchet MS=trebuchet ms,geneva',
            'Verdana=verdana,geneva',
            'Webdings=webdings',
            'Wingdings=wingdings,zapf dingbats'


good luck ;)

Save this custom.css to your template directory. /templates/my-template/css/custom.css
Go to Extensions -> Plugin Manager
Select the Editor - TinyMCE 2.0
Put the path to your custom.css in the Custom CSS Classes field.
Save
