How to Change Text Font Family in a New Window Using HTML and JavaScript

Have you ever tried to change the font family of a text displayed in a new browser window and found that it stubbornly remains as the default? If so, you're not alone! Many developers face a similar challenge when trying to customize their web apps. In this guide, we'll explore how to change the text font family using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript effectively. Let's dive in!

The Problem

In a recent inquiry, a user expressed difficulties in changing the font family of the text "hello" displayed in a new window. The user had already attempted to import a custom font through the @ font-face rule in CSS but noticed that despite setting the font in their <h1> tag, the text continued to render with the default font. This common issue could easily be attributed to one key detail in the code. Let's take a look at the user's code snippet:

As intriguing as it seems, the solution can be quite simple!

The Solution

Step 1: Specify the Correct Path

The issue primarily stems from how the font file's path is defined. When opening a new window, the URL is often a blank canvas, which means it may not know how to accurately resolve the path to the font file. To fix this, we need to specify the font's path correctly by starting it with a forward slash (/). This indicates that the path starts from the root directory.

Here’s the corrected CSS rule you should implement in your script:

Step 3: Test the Result

Copy and paste the updated code into your HTML file.

Open your HTML file in a web browser.

Click the "open" button.

You should see the text "hello" rendered in the custom font "MotivaLight" as expected.

Conclusion

Changing the font family in a new window can be a bit tricky due to path resolution issues. By ensuring you specify the correct path to your font file using a leading forward slash, you can resolve this issue effectively.
