Their is a know font bug with google open sans. The 400 weight appears as condensed. and the interface is unreadable.

I discovered this on a project I was working on. This is if you have the font installed locally on your computer. 

The way around it was to have the webfont package as a hosted font rather than a @import or link to google fonts.

I am not sure how to resolve this for cmsb as I don't want to remove my locally installed computer font.

Hi zaba,

Thanks for the details! I've fixed this issue for the next release of CMS Builder, although we're still using Railway and Open Sans.

If you wish to customize future versions of CMS Builder, please note that the font is now being included by lib/menus/header_css.php, instead of with an @import rule:

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700,300|Raleway:400,700,500' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

All the best,
Chris

Thanks Chris,

The font thing was a real issue for me so I had to change it and ended up using Fira out of personal preference, I think I am going to stick with it so the info will be useful for future upgrades.

Thanks for such a superb CMS that has been major armour in my services for many years.
