I am using Toolset with a new Bootstrap starter theme which you kindly gave me assistance to get working.

You can see my test site at hidden link

Problem: I cannot get google web based fonts to load.

As an example, I have added the following in my header
<link href="hidden link" rel="stylesheet">

And to my child theme CSS
body{
font-family: 'Srisakdi', cursive;
}

If you look at the home page using Google inspector, you can see that the font has been computed properly but is not actually rendered.

Could you have a look please and see if you can spot the problem.

Regards

Robert

Dear Robert,

This is a custom CSS code problem, I have tried the URL you mentioned above, here are what I found in your website:
I don't see the CSS file was loaded in my browser, see screenshot: fonts.JPG

I suggest you try to follow WordPress document to register and enqueue the your custom CSS files:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/

For example, this post from other website:
hidden link

And test again
