How to change the font in Squib

I want to change the font in Squib. How do I do this.

There is a font folder and also I can see where I set the font in the layout, do I need to set it anywhere else.

I'm wanting to use FiraSans-Regular.otf and FiraSans-Heavy.otf

At this point in time, Squib doesn't support loading fonts locally. You'll have to install the font on your system, and then do something like text font: 'FiraSans'. I generally keep my font files in my git repo just for portability.

Loading local fonts has been discussed by the Pango team (what Squib uses for text), and they are making the process less painful as I understand it. http://mces.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-use-custom-application-fonts.html. It will be a while until that translates to Ruby, as well, since cross-platform compatibility is hard when it comes to fonts.

I've created a GitHub issue to track on this if you want to follow it:
