Font Change about academicpages.github.io HOT 2 CLOSED

The master location for fonts is in _sass/_variables and the lines that govern the fonts look like this:

$global-font-family         : $sans-serif;
$header-font-family         : $sans-serif;
$caption-font-family        : $serif;

By default the $sans-serif variable is used which uses the following default and fail overs:

$sans-serif                 : -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", "Roboto", "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif;

If you are going to change the template font is recommended that you define a new font variable that includes fail overs like the $sans-serif variable and then assign that variable to the primary variables listed above.

How to use external font, I installed "Lucida Sans" on my system, and replace in the place of "-apple-system", it worked locally, but not on deployment, why so?
