Thank you for looking into this.
The font file types (purchased from and supplied from Optimo) are EOT and SVG. Would this affect things at all?
Thanks for pointing out the placement of the files, I'll move soon. Weirdly, this is the first update where I've noticed the issue happening.

Hi
Have seen others with this or a very similar issue. After updating either Wordpress (4.9.6) and/or Laytheme (2.5.5) today, my Webfonts disappeared from my site.
I noticed after reverting to a backup, that the /fonts folder inside (public_html/wp-content/themes/lay/) from my files has been wiped. Strangely, this can't be added back in saying that it already exists.
A resolution for this is to:
Make a new fonts folder (with a different name) and add files back into:
public_html/wp-content/themes/lay/
Update the link tag in Webfonts > Font manager
Admins, do you know what the cause of this is?
Thanks
Hi
Thought it might be useful to share installation advice for fonts from Optimo.ch as it's taken a while to work this out. It's probably a basic process for anyone that knows what they're doing. For this, I'm using Plain Medium.
Step 1
Package of files from Optimo contains, CSS, SVG and EOT. These are be added to a (new) folder called 'fonts' within: public_html/wp-content/themes/lay/. You'll need to access your domain to add these.
Step 2
Add this to 'Lay Options > Custom CSS and HTML' in both Desktop and Mobile:
@font-face {
font-family: 'PlainMedium';
src: url('/fonts/PlainMedium-Regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes /
src: url('/fonts/PlainMedium-Regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), / IE6-IE8 /
url('/fonts/PlainMedium-Regular.svg#svgPlainMedium-Regular') format('svg'); / Legacy iOS */
}
Step 3
Add a new webfont in 'Lay Options > Webfont'
Font name: (same as font-family above)
Link tag: <link href="/wp-content/themes/lay/fonts/PlainMedium-Regular.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
font-family: 'PlainMedium', sans-serif;
Step 4
Head into 'Text formats' and change the Font Family to the chosen font.
Step 5
New font should be installed across the site.
Hope I've covered everything and of use to someone else.
