saguaros I thought my question got no response. I know how to add the fonts. Don't know if you really read my question or just saw font problems and pointed me there. I said that using the CSS file option only loads the font on the backend/ customizer. On the frontend the font CSS is not laoded. Thus the font called in it. With direct font URL font gets loaded but, I can't use the option to select font weight, as the dropdown only contains the text: "select a font". Well, since you have a small team and left everything behind to concentrate on other projects like AI, I guess I won't find a solution here. I am fortunate, though that I didn't pull the trigger to invest in premium themes before testing. I guess those have the same problem since the framework is the same.
