Hi all,
WSX5 E14
after having read (almost) all comments on the webfont problems (I've same) I wanna describe an observation. Maybe it can be of help:

1. The font selected (WebFont not GoogleFont) is copied into a folder within the project folder Fonts
2. If you select all vatiations (.svg, .woff etc) all these fontfiles are copied into this folder (4 files)
3. If you upload these fonts are uploaded into the web folder /...style/fonts

Now if you remove the so selected font from yr project and you re-use the same fontfile again:

4. The same font selected is copied into the project folder fonts but with changed ending /...fontname-1.ttf
5. Same applies to the other fonttypes. All ending /...-1
6. If you upload these fonts are uploaded into the web folder /...style/fonts but: original fontnames and fontname-1
7. Applies for all font types (4 if you put all four possible font types)
8. So it uploads 8 files.

Now if you change something in yr page and you upload again (all files) then all 8 fontfiles are uploaded but the header informatiuon does not find the fontfiles any longer.

If you remove the font and select it again (points 4 to 5) and upload all files again 8 fontfiles are uploaded (fontname and fontname-1) but the header can find the info now.

Conclusion: The upload and header information is only correct if the fontfiles are uploades the first time after remove and reselection.

For time isues I cannot go into further depth but maybe it helps the developers and some users might have the same issue. Would be great to have a solution because it is annoying. Regards. WEP

Hello Wolfgang,

I have tested it and it works correctly. The font is create once time in the folder preview.
Probably on the server there are old files. Try delete all files of the site on the server and re-export it. You can also try export the site on your pc and verify in the site folder.
