Title font flips from default to custom every page load

    Hi guys,

    I selected a different font from the options in the editor, and now every time the page loads in my browser, the title jumps from the default font to the new font. I’ve cleared my history and restarted my computer, and it’s still happening — wondering if other people see this too? I’m using the Gateway template.

    How do I resolve this?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah,

    We used to load a blank page before the content loaded on sites with custom fonts, however, this meant that those viewing the web on slower connections (often mobile) would only see that blank page.

    To fix that, we now use the theme’s default font to load the site’s content first. This means that no one is greeted with a blank page. It also means that there will be flash between the theme’s default and custom fonts when first loading.

    We believe this to be a better overall experience for visitors to your site but understand it’s not perfect either. The team are always looking at better font-loading solutions that will work for all of our users but, for now, this is the default.

    Let me know if that explanation helps or if you have any further questions.
