Home › Forums › Gillion Theme › How to add custom Fonts or new icons in addition to the existing ones?
Hi,
i know that Gillion Theme uses font awesome and other fonts to display icons on the front end but there are some icons that i need and that aren’t present in these fonts
on my old theme i was using Fontello.com
On this website is possible to choose what icons to include and it’s also possible to add my own SVG to add my personal icons to the font. At the end it lets me to download the font with all the css and the font types
Now the question is: how do i add the support of my custom font?
where i have to upload the files?
i’ve added the Fontello font (.svg, .eot, .tff, .woff and .woff2 files) in /gillion/fonts/
i’ve added the .css file from fontello in /gillion/css/plugins/
But i still can’t see my icons. Also Fontello doesn’t appear here (attrachment)
i think i’m missing just 1 thing but i don’t know what
Hi @fabiano1987,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
They don’t display automatically in the dropdown option.
To display them, you have to develop custom code in the child theme of Gillion theme using the filter fw_option_type_icon_sets added in the below theme file on line number 1435
/gillion/inc/icons.php
Developing custom code for custom functionality is beyond the scope of support that we provide here.
If you are not a developer then you can consider hiring a developer to develop it for you. You can hire a developer from any freelance site. Shufflehound recommends the developer https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~011652ffec8865c

Ok i did it. Thank you
now i display Fontello in the Admin panel
while for the front end i’ve added this in the header.php
<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’fontello’ href=’https://www.ispazio.net/wp-content/themes/gillion/css/plugins/fontello.css’ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
It works well. Is it good for the SEO or it’s a bad thing?
You are most welcome here 🙂
The SEO doesn’t affect due to it.
