We mentioned this briefly in a newsletter a month ago, but for those that may have missed it... We've built a handy font lookup tool for quickly finding the proper CSS style names for fonts.

Why are the CSS style names important? Because when it comes to widgets, font names can't be selected from a dropdown, like in the Muse Text Panel. Font names have to be entered manually into the widget option panel. And the font name has to be recognized as a proper CSS style name by the browser. 

While the majority of CSS font names are just made up of the font name with a "-" between words, no spaces. Example: the League Gothic font's CSS style name is "league-gothic". But there are many others who's CSS style names don't follow the same formula. Take a look at these:

Using our Font Tool, you can look up the font you're after, click the "Copy to Clipboard" button, then paste directly into the widget panel.

One more thing to remember is that whenever you enter a font name into a widget, be sure that the font is used somewhere on the same page. This way, the font will be loaded properly by the browser. All it takes is a single character, like a period. You can hide it off canvas if you like.
