Blog-Fonts-GWF-cannot type long font name-20 character limit?!?

PE
When editing a blog's fonts the instructions clearly state that you can use any Google Web Font by typing in "GWF-" followed by the name of the font.

What the instructions do NOT say is that the entry field is limited to only 20 characters. Given that "GWF-" takes up 4, it makes it impossible to type in the name of any font longer than 16 characters. There are MANY google fonts with longer names than that. The font I need to use has a name 17 characters long; there seems to be no way to type it in.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I just spent a moment browsing Google fonts and quickly found one with a name 24 characters long. Please increase your limit; at least 30, if not 40 characters, for the font name fields.

I don't recognise this as a Nabble issue. Have you posted to the right forum?

Of course I'm posting in the right forum. I'm writing about the Nabble Blog. I've tried multiple browsers, same problem.

Steps to recreate:

1. In your blog, Go to Options: Application: Change Appearance.
2. Click the font button at the top of the screen.
3. Click the "Choose Font" button.
4. Note the instructions that appear at the bottom of this window:

"You can use any Google Web Font available (view fonts). Just type the name of the font with the prefix "GWF=" (for example, try "GWF=Marvel")."

AGAIN, the PROBLEM is that NABBLE restricts the length, so you can't type more than 20 characters. I've tried this in 2 different browsers with the same results.

Hi,
you have to edit your font_editor_panel macro.
See line 14 an 27, they are the input fields for fonts, "Main Font" and "Title Font" respectively.
Please,  increase the maxlength value as you want.

Pedro, this sounds great!

Now, how/where can I find the font_editor_panel macro? I've spent 20 minutes hunting around for what you describe and can't find it anywhere.

1- At the bottom of your app->See "Edit this page".
2- At the engine wheel -> "Search for macro" .
3- Macro by name -> search for "font_editor_panel" .
4 - font_editor_panel -> "override this macro" .
