For Minimum Theme: How do I get the font to look like the demo site?

[samster]

Hi,

For some reason the fonts on my site dont look like the minimum demo site's font. The fonts on the demo site are bold / heavier and just look better. I checked the CSS and it seems to be the same as the demo? Not sure how to fix this. Halp!

Any help from the Mod's on this?

The original CSS is correct, but I just downloaded a fresh version of the theme and it appears that the "bold" font weight isn't being pulled in from Google fonts by the function in the functions.php file.

To fix, I would suggest....

Look for this in your functions.php file:

/** Load Google fonts */
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'minimum_load_google_fonts' );
function minimum_load_google_fonts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 
    	'google-fonts', 
    	'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans', 
    	array(), 
    	PARENT_THEME_VERSION 
    );
}

And replace it with this (we're adding in the normal (400) and bold (700) weights:

/** Load Google fonts */
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'minimum_load_google_fonts' );
function minimum_load_google_fonts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 
    	'google-fonts', 
    	'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700', 
    	array(), 
    	PARENT_THEME_VERSION 
    );
}
