Adobe typekit fonts in Dreamweaver 2017

I am attempting to use a typekit font in a DW CC 2017 project and cannot figure it out. In previous DW verisons, it was pretty easy. I highlighted some text and went to manage fonts and selected the font, but that did not work. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Joe

Good Day,

Once inside Dreamweaver Go to Tools >> Manage Fonts >> Custom Font Stacks (tab), then choose from the available fonts on your computer.

Make sure to click on the "+" to create a new font list.

What if your site visitors don't happen to have that font on their computer?  They won't see it.

For routine text, it's probably best to stick with the Windows / Mac web safe font families.

CSS Font Stack: Web Safe and Web Font Family with HTML and CSS code.

For special headings, menus, etc... you can use Web Fonts from Adobe Edge, Typekit  or Google fonts.

2017 Update:

Are you on Creative Cloud?

  1. Log-in to Typekit. Browse fonts | Typekit
  2. Select a font.
  3. Save it to your CC Library.
  4. Enable Sync from CC Desktop (Click the Gear Icon).

Within a few mins/secs it will be available to your desktop apps.
