Dear Mehmet,

I am using the Google web font Vollkorn on my site, but it is not displaying proper italics – just the ‘oblique’ version of the roman font.

(See http://www.zubair.info/blog/2010/11/05/css-font-style-oblique-vs-italic.html )

What code do I need to add to use the true italics for this font?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mehmet,

Sorry, I don’t understand.

Do you mean that I won’t be able to use true italics with Google fonts on my site?

(My site is http://www.marksladen.info)

Best,

Mark

Paste to Theme Options > Style > Custom CSS:

body { font-style: italic; }

Hi Mehmet,

I’ve just started using your template and I love it.
I am however having the same problem, this time with the font Crimson Text.

I just need to use the specific italic web font required for italics instead of the artificial “oblique” both i and em seem to be causing.

Is there a way to specify a completely different font for italics somehow?

Thanks,

PB

To embed the Crimson Text font collection into your web site:

– Use this in your External CSS field:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Crimson+Text:400,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic">

That works perfectly! Thanks.

[Mehmet S.]

You are welcome.
