* I am having trouble viewing one of the fonts in my Adobe Typekit on my new GeneratePress
installation. I added the kit according to Adobe’s instructions:
* “To use these fonts on a web page, copy this code into the tag of your
HTML.
You can embed this project on any website you manage.”
*
”>
* Which in theory should have worked but it didn’t. Oddly in the Customize Typography
section there is no option to choose either one of the fonts in my Adobe TypeKit.
* So, I had to add them Addition CSS section of the Customizer section as such:
* body {
font-family: “futura-pt-1”, sans-serif; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { font-family:“
ltc-bodoni-175, serif”; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; }
* Oddly, only Futura showed up in the body text, but Bodoni did not.
* I checked Firefoxe’ Inspect Element and indeed Bodoni is there like this:
* h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-family: “ltc-bodoni-175, serif”; font-weight:
400; font-style: normal; }
* In trying to find the answer I read in the support documents on GP’s website,
there were two methods suggested for where to put one’s Typekit, either in the
wp_footer or the wp_header ([https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/typekit-woes/](https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/typekit-woes/)).
But as someone in the forum questioned (#645600), why are Adobe’s instructions
for adding the Typekit different than GeneratePress’?
* BTW, why are we always told to create Child Themes when we are allowed to add
custom CSS to the Additional CSS section of GeneratePress’ Customizer?
* Thanks,

* Hi Mollie,
* That should work, but there’s one more step you need to take in order for the
font to show up in the Customizer.
* ```
add_filter( 'generate_typography_default_fonts', function( $fonts ) {
$fonts[] = 'proxima-nova';
return $fonts;
} );
```
* That code can be added using one of these methods: [https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/](https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/)
* `proxima-nova` should be changed to the name of your font.
* Also, you should add the typekit link using a function as well, so you don’t
need to edit the core theme files:
* ```
add_action( 'wp_head', function() {
?>
