How to embed and use custom font

[mkarmocha]

I checked this https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2674/registering-a-font article but it seems no one has yet provided any solutions.

I generated my custom font from fontsquirrel website and want to use it in nodebb forum.

How can I do that any idea??

No, I cannot use that way because I have custom font folder which I have generated through font squirrel

If you want to use custom fonts, you should upload the font files (.woff etc.) into public folder and still declare them in Custom CSS.
However, I can't give you any examples as I've never tried it myself.
Perhaps this SO post can help...

@markkus I created the font folder in public directory and later declared my css in my less file and it worked !

hi every body.
1- i solve this by puting my font file into public/fonts folder
2- edit this line in my them variables.less:

//** Load fonts from this directory.
@icon-font-path: "fonts/";
//** File name for all font files.
@icon-font-name: "Samim";
//** Element ID within SVG icon file.
@icon-font-svg-id: "Samim";

3- change font-family to "Samim"
