My apologies if this is a FAQ post, however I am new to Umbraco and was so far not able to find an answer to my question neither on Google and nor on this forums.
We are using Umbraco deployed as a WebApp on Azure, which installs Umbraco version 7.3.4.
The designer wants to use 5 different fonts on the webpage, which are not default webfonts and thus cannot be used via a fonts.googleapis.com link.
Adding the fonts in Umbraco (for example in the scripts or stylesheets) directory seems not possible via the Umbraco-web-interface. As this interface lacks an import function for remote files into these directories.
How do I add the fonts to the Umbraco filesystem in order to use them?
In the Azure management portal on your web app there is a setting to get FTP credentials for the web app. I think it is somewhere where you can get the publishing settings
With this you can upload the fonts were you want ?
How did you get your Umbraco application on Azure ? Maybe you can make it part of this deployment process.
I was searching in the Umbraco management site to do this. Via a FTP to Azure the fonts were copied quickly into the Umbraco wwwroot.
When creating the Web app Azure gives you the option to create an empty one or a vendor specific one - Umbraco being among them. This way Azure helps you through the various wizardsto setup the SQL database , making installing a web- and database-server very easy and taking only minutes.
