Why can't I view the TypeKit fonts in Dreamweaver CS6?

• • • • • • • • •

Hey everybody,

Simple task, yet so difficult to realize: I use Dreamweaver CS6 to build my Web site. I have the "Museo-without" families of police published on my website via TypeKit. In Dreamweaver, after you have added the line of JavaScript to the head of the document and refrencing the time in CSS, it is impossible for me to see the real police I saw live or view it in my browser. It doesn't show until I have download on my web server. Its impossible to download on my web server every time just to see what looks like the site with that font. I even added the 'localhost' and ' 127.0.0.1' IP in settings Kit of TypeKit. Nothing shows the actual fonts in dreamweaver.

I spent my whole Saturday trying to achieve this simple task, without success - its beginning to discurage me and I'm almost ready to make all the text, an image and end with this headache would cause.

I would be very grateful for any help anyone might have on the subject!

Thank you kindly,

Dustin

The answer is in this video Adobe TV by Paul Trani: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creating-for-mobile-and-tablets/adding-custom-fonts-using-typeki t /.

The answer comes right at the end of the video. In a Word, adding localhost for the parameters of your Kit alone is not enough. You also need a local web server on your computer. In the video of Paul, it is running MAMP (for Mac). Under Windows, you can run XAMPP.

Judging by the video of Paul, you should always use the preview in browser. However, I think that if you set up a test server in your Dreamweaver site definition, you should also be able to see the fonts in Live view mode.

If you are not familiar with the implementation of a test and MAMP/XAMPP server, see my tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html. The tutorial is for testing of PHP, but you can also use MAMP/XAMPP to test regular .html pages.
