[angular] How to import a new font into a project - Angular 5

I want to import a new font to my Angular 5 project.

I have tried:

1) Copying the file to assets/fonts/

2) adding it to .angular-cli.json styles

but I have checked that the file is not a .css, it is an .otf that works like an .exe (it is an installer) so I do not really know how to import it. Any idea?

You can try creating a css for your font with font-face (like explained here)

Step #1

Create a css file with font face and place it somewhere, like in assets/fonts

customfont.css

@font-face {
    font-family: YourFontFamily;
    src: url("/assets/font/yourFont.otf") format("truetype");
}

Step #2

Add the css to your .angular-cli.json in the styles config

"styles":[
 //...your other styles
 "assets/fonts/customFonts.css"
 ]

Do not forget to restart ng serve after doing this

Step #3

Use the font in your code

component.css

span {font-family: YourFontFamily; }

the answer is already exist above, but I would like to add some thing.. you can specify the following in your @font-face

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Name You Font';
  src: url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.eot');
  src: local('Cera Pro Medium'), local('CeraPro-Medium'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.woff') format('woff'),
  url('assets/font/xxyourfontxxx.ttf') format('truetype');
  font-weight: 500;
  font-style: normal;
}

So you can just indicate your fontfamily name that you already choosed

NOTE: the font-weight and font-style depend on your .woff .ttf ... files
