 * Hi! I,m a begginer here.
 * I,m working with Genesis Framework. My child theme (Equilibre) is from another
   developer.
    I just wanted to add a custom slider to the front-page of my website.
   But the front-page is configured by widgets and I don´t know how to insert the
   php code of the slider in the featured area (I can´t drag & drop the slider).
 * Could somebody please help me with this issue?

 * Is this the theme that you are using?
    [http://demo.clarothemes.com/equilibre/](http://demo.clarothemes.com/equilibre/)
 * The theme demo is constructed with the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin.
 * Are you looking for help on how to customize the slider using that plugin, or
   are you trying to write your own slider plugin with PHP?

 * I managed to do it, it was quite easy actually.
 * Another question I have is about modifying the fonts of the child theme.
 * I added a font (Caviar Dreams) to the style sheet with Font Squirrel.
 * I only want it to be in the feature welcome area so I tell in the ccs stylesheet
   to do so. But never see the correct font, maybe just the numbers but the letters
   keep on being Arial or Sans.
 * What I may be doing wrong?

 * In addition to adding the font information to the relevant classes on your stylesheet,
   you also need to add the following code to your functions.php file:
 *     ```
       //* Enqueue Lato Google font
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sp_load_google_fonts' );
       function sp_load_google_fonts() {
       	wp_enqueue_style( 'google-font-lato', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,700', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace the font name and weights for your relevant font.
