Multiple font-weights, one @font-face query

Question

I have to import the Klavika font and I\'ve received it in multiple shapes and sizes:

Klavika-Bold-Italic.otf
Klavika-Bold.otf
Klavika-Light-Italic.otf
Klavi         


        

Answer 1

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Klavika';
  src: url(../fonts/Klavika-Regular.otf) format('truetype') font-weight-normal,
       url(../fonts/Klavika-Bold.otf) format('truetype') font-weight-bold,
       url(../fonts/Klavika-Bold-Italic.otf) format('truetype') font-italic font-weight-bold;
}

Answer 2

Actually there is a special flavor of @font-face that will permit just what you're asking.

Here's an example using the same font-family name with different styles and weights associated with different fonts:

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Italic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-Bold-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "DroidSerif";
  src: url("DroidSerif-BoldItalic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

You can now specify font-weight:bold or font-style:italic to any element you like without having to specify the font-family or overriding font-weight and font-style.

body { font-family:"DroidSerif", Georgia, serif; }

h1 { font-weight:bold; }

em { font-style:italic; }

strong em {
  font-weight:bold;
  font-style:italic;
}
