Is there a way to display Roboto font even if users don't have it?

When my users view my HTML5 online help file, it does not display the Roboto font for some (because they don't have the font installed on their machine). Instead it defaults to a less attractive font. Is there a way to do something with the font where it displays regardless of that circumstance (like embedding the font)?

    Yup, that's the latest (Oct 2023) - I'm pretty sure the templates also have CSS applied to them; just not sure where that is exposed (or not exposed as the case may be). As an experiment, can you try another template to see if it behaves?


    Solved. 

    1. Edit the skin/template in RH 2022. Go to Output > Templates > [Skin/Template] > Edit > Layout tab > User assets > Add Asset. Upload a .css file with everything commented out except for #4 in Peter G.'s font face entry (https://www.grainge.org/demos/fontawesome/#t=fontface.htm). This will tell the skin to force display the desired font and use the default skin .css (mine was called layout.css) for everything else (e.g., size, color).
    2. Paste a copy of the font you want to display in the skin/template folder. 
    3. Generate and test.

    Yes, but it depends on the font & if you are permitted to distribute it - see Peter's site on fonts (grainge.org) - https://www.grainge.org/demos/fontawesome/#t=fontface.htm

    It's Google's Roboto font. I've seen the article on Google fonts, but the instructions don't follow with the Google fonts page. There's no + sign or way to copy the code. And I'm unsure by what he means by "paste the code into the head section." Where do you do that in RoboHelp. The .css?

    Yes, I believe that's set in the skin/template - what version of RH are you running? And what was the design you used?


    RoboHelp 2022.3.93 (I believe this is the latest version). The template I used was a variation (color) of the Azure_Blue design. I have the font family in both the Header and Layout tabs set to Roboto. I take it the skin/template doesn't adhere to a stylesheet, so there is no way to enter the @11220649-face entry like we did for the topics?
