Hey. I am having trouble with uploading the fonts 'Futura Bold Italic' for the header section and headings in general and also the 'Futura Book' font for the paragraph section...
I do not fully understand how to do so in regards to uploading a custom font - I have gone over the material but do not understand how to find the CSS Filesheet URL for these particular fonts... What is the best way to go about getting these fonts onto my website, Thanks.
We have explained how to import custom fonts in the theme documentation, so the font should have it's own stylesheet which should be uploaded somewhere in your server. Please follow the guide if you haven't, and if you are having issues applying the font please share your site credentials here, because we need to login to your site and see this issue live. Your information is safe (private) in this thread.
To include your credentials click Insert Credentials button in editor toolbar. (See how)
Also apologies for not making it clear - I am actually unsure as to how to obtain the fonts in order to get the stylesheet (regarding Futura Bold Italic and Futura Book). Do they need to be purchased or can they be downloaded from somewhere?
As I can see you have not understood the custom fonts and premium fonts section, custom fonts are fonts that need to be downloaded and uploaded to your server, you need the webfont version of these fonts to make them run in your site. Fonts like Futura are premium fonts and they are really expensive to include the whole set in your site, if you want to use a font like Futura we have included the Function Pro font which is a really similar font to Futura and it is for free since we have got the license to include it within the theme, follow this guide to install premium fonts included with the theme.
Thank you I understand now. I have tried to Install the Font (function pro) now as required in the premium font section...
"You need to download and install this font in order to use it in this site. Installation process is automatic, simply click the button below:"
I have clicked download and install font and was given the error message firstly of a 'timeout' and secondly saying '[403] Direct download is not allowed'.
That's because your site is already activated on this domain: http://acapwear.com, I have removed the activation, so now you should activate it again under acap.xyz
If you still see the old domain on your Product Activation page please just press X, then try to activate your theme again, it should work.
Have you followed my instructions on clicking the X button to remove the activation first, because it doesn't seem to be activated from my view. I have already removed the old license so please go ahead and activate it again.
This has all worked good and fine - however I do prefer the authentic Futura fonts over the Function Pro ones. Could you please advise me as to the best way to install Futura Fonts onto my site. Do I need to buy them from somewhere specific? I am only looking for Futura Bold Italic and Futura Book and will not need the entire family.
The instructions on importing custom fonts in your site are explained in the theme documentation, which I have included previously. First you will have to buy the webfont version of Futura, the variants which you need, so after you've downloaded the webfonts it's time to upload them in the in your server, you can upload them anywhere but we recommend to upload them under the wp-content/uploads/ folder by creating a new folder named fonts.

If you still see the old domain on your Product Activation page please just press X, then try to activate your theme again, it should work.
(view on new page)
Then after re-activating the theme under acap.xyz, update the theme and try installing the fonts again.

It's activated under acap.xyz now but I am still seeing that same issue.
