how to import more fonts to use in vs code for css styling
To use custom fonts in VS Code for CSS styling, you don't import the fonts directly into VS Code itself. Instead, you link the fonts in your CSS code.
Here are the steps to use custom fonts in VS Code:
Find and download the font file(s) you want to use. Fonts come in various formats, such as .ttf or .woff. Make sure you have the appropriate font file(s) downloaded on your computer.
Create a new folder in your project to store the font file(s). You can name the folder "fonts" or any other appropriate name.
Copy the font file(s) into the newly created folder.
In your CSS file, use the @font-face
rule to define the font and import it into your CSS code. Here's an example:
css Copy code
@font-face {
font-family: "MyCustomFont";
src: url("./fonts/MyCustomFont.ttf");
}
body {
font-family: "MyCustomFont", sans-serif;
}
In this example, we define the font family as "MyCustomFont" and specify the path to the font file using the url()
function. The "./fonts/MyCustomFont.ttf" path assumes that the font file is stored in a "fonts" folder in the same directory as your CSS file. Adjust the path accordingly if your file structure is different.
Finally, apply the custom font to the desired elements in your CSS code using the font-family
property.
When you run your application, the custom font should be applied to the specified elements based on your CSS rules.
Remember that using custom fonts in CSS requires properly licensing the font files. Make sure you have the necessary licenses or permissions to use the fonts in your project.
How to import a font
To import a font in CSS, you can use the @font-face
rule to specify the font file's location and provide a name for the font family. Here's an example code block in CSS:
css Copy code
@font-face {
font-family: "My Custom Font";
src: url("path/to/font/file.ttf");
}
In the font-family
property, you can give your font family a name. In the src
property, you can specify the URL of your font file. Make sure that the file extension matches the font format (e.g. .ttf
, .woff
, .otf
, etc.). Once you've defined @font-face
, you can use your font by setting the font-family
property to the same name you gave it:
css Copy code
body {
font-family: "My Custom Font", sans-serif;
}
In this example, the My Custom Font
will be applied to the body
element and the fallback font is sans-serif
.
Note: Be sure to download or have access to the particular font file and ensure that the font you are using follows font licensing.
How do I add a custom font to my code on CSS?
In order to add custom fonts to your CSS code you need to first download the font files you want to use and add them to your project directory. You can either download fonts from websites that offer free fonts, or purchase a font license.
Next, you should include the @font-face
at-rule in your CSS code. This will allow you to define the name of the font family you're using, the location of the font files and other properties related to the font.
Here's an example of how you can use @font-face
in your CSS:
css Copy code
@font-face {
font-family: 'CustomFont'; /* Name your font family */
src: url('path/to/your/font/file.ttf'); /* Locate the .ttf file within your directory*/
}
body {
font-family: 'CustomFont', sans-serif; /* Use the font family */
}
In this example, replace the path/to/your/font/file.ttf
with the location of the font file on your local machine. You can also use .otf
or .woff
font file types instead of .ttf
.
For more information, you can refer to the following resources:

how do I add a fallback font?
To add a fallback font, you can either use the @font-face
CSS rule or the font-family
property.
For example, using the @font-face
CSS Rule, you could add a fallback font like this:
css Copy code
@font-face {
font-family: 'Open Sans';
src: url('OpenSans-Regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
}
body {
font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif; /*Fallback*/
}
Alternatively, using the font-family
CSS property, you could do this:
css Copy code
body {
font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;
}
how can add font ?
You can add fonts to your computer or website using CSS or Adobe TypeKit. To add a font using CSS, you can use the @font-face
rule:
css Copy code
@font-face {
font-family: "Your Font Name";
src: url(font-url-goes-here);
}
Then use font-family
to apply it to your text:
css Copy code
p {
font-family: "Your Font Name";
}

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
