What is the method for adding fonts to a Liferay theme?

The method for adding fonts to a Liferay theme involves importing them in the theme's CSS file. This approach allows developers to define font styles centrally within the theme's stylesheet, ensuring consistency across all pages and components that utilize that theme.

When you import fonts in the CSS file, you typically use the @font-face rule to specify custom fonts or leverage standard CSS rules for web fonts. This way, the fonts become part of the theme's design and can be easily managed alongside other styles. Including fonts in the CSS also optimally leverages the caching capabilities of browsers, which helps improve load times across the website pages that use the theme.

Utilizing a font management tool can be beneficial for organizational purposes, but it doesn't directly add fonts into a Liferay theme, as the integration must occur within the CSS files for the theme to apply them effectively. Embedding fonts directly into HTML is possible but not the standard practice in a themed environment for reusability and maintainability reasons. Linking to external font libraries can be part of the process, but it is not sufficient on its own to encompass how fonts are integrated within a Liferay theme, as it lacks the comprehensive coverage of adding and managing custom fonts effectively in a structured manner.
