Just a simple tip I wanted to share with you from my experience, which I hope might help you,
\nand will not cause you the same headache it did to me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

While working on my website, I have realized that on one of my home PCs,
\nthe fonts were not the same as I\u2019ve decided them to be.<\/p>\n

To elaborate some more, I have chosen a specific webfont from Google Fonts to use in my website,
\nand while testing it from other PCs I have realized that on some configurations –
\nthe default font was showing (and not my chosen webfont).<\/p>\n

So, I have started researching.<\/p>\n

The problem<\/h2>\n

It appears that some configurations are having trouble with using fonts that are \u201cdrawn\u201d from other domains.<\/p>\n

Meaning – fonts that are being hosted somewhere else other than the site, Google for that matter,
\nare blocked for security purposes.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/h2>\n

For me, the thing that solved it was adding few lines to the bottom of the website\u2019s \u201c.htaccess<\/strong>\u201d file.
\nUsually this file would be located in the site\u2019s root directory, public_html or something similar.<\/p>\n

\"htaccess
\nThe lines are:<\/p>\n

<FilesMatch \".(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff)$\"><\/code>
\n<IfModule mod_headers.c><\/code>
\nHeader set Access-Control-Allow-Origin \"*\"<\/code>
\n<\/IfModule><\/code>
\n<\/FilesMatch><\/code><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll probably need FTP access to your site in order to make the required change.<\/p>\n

The meaning of those lines is something that is called \u201ccross-domain linking\u201d,
\nwhich allows the website to use fonts that are hosted on other domains.<\/p>\n

You can see that the file types are limited to common font file extensions (ttf, ttc, otf, eot and woff) and not other
\nkinds of files – so it appears that the procedure is safe.<\/p>\n

Just make sure that you backup the contents of your current \u201c.htaccess\u201d file before changing,
\nin case something goes sideways \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
