Hello 👋

I’d like to add a custom font to my site. The custom font upload feature doesn’t specify what kind of font file is accepted. Is it the standard web “@font-face” file type?

Thanks for confirming, so I don’t purchase the wrong license for the custom font we intend to use!

Cheers,  
Alexander

Thanks for tracking this information down for me! It would be great to add this to the ‘Settings \> Add Font’ dialogue box to remove any questions…

This answer is a bit opaque. I would welcome some kind of video adding a font from an online font library to the available list of workspace fonts. A workaround might be using a jpg of the text. Or is this really difficult or is there a licensing issue? Am I missing something?
