I am just starting to research switching my Robohelp project to web-fonts..I know that my question is probably google-able though I imagine that others may have the same initial question--some of our clients access the help environment on servers that are not connected to the internet--is this is a showstopper for web fonts? (Yes, I know that the question probably answers itself: internet==web)

What is the showstopper you are referring to? What is the problem you are expecting?

You can use custom fonts, no problem. Follow the link to the blog post above for details. Just me sure that you have the correct licenses to distribute the fonts in that way.

My concern was that web fonts require some relay/exchange with the www gods and so if it's a local host the same support is missing. I guess that importing a web font into robohelp and its css will accomplish this for those accessing the Help.

I am perfectly happy with Google Open Sans which seems relatively unrestricted.

I'm doing it! Thanks, I'm certainly picking up knowledge from your blogs.

Hi there

I'm sorry, but you will need to expound on what you are looking for. What exactly are "Google Awesome" fonts?

Is this a specific font family named "Google Awesome"?

Is it one or more different font families that are "Awesome to use with Google" somehow producing some effect that cannot otherwise be achieved?

Or something else entirely?

Cheers... Rick

Okay, closer but still not understanding. (Sorry to be dense here)

Do you have a topic in a WebHelp system where you are attempting to insert these links so that others may click them and peruse what is there?

Or are you wanting to configure these links so that the WebHelp output files actually USE these fonts instead of whatever font is presently being used?

Cheers... Rick
