The Font List is where you manage all the fonts used in your project as "font families" in one place. To apply a font to text on your site, you first need to add the font to the Font List.
In the Font List, you can manage and configure the following:
Adding fonts to use on your site
Adding sub-fonts
Changing font management labels
Setting the default font
Adding Custom Fonts
For steps on applying fonts to text, see How to set, replace, and delete fonts.
What is a sub-font?
A sub-font is a supplementary font that supports the base typeface (font).
By adding sub-fonts, you can specify different fonts for each language, or define which fonts to display on each device when using system fonts.
Note: Sub-font limitations
If your Studio.Design account language is set to English, you can't add sub-fonts. Switch the language to Japanese first.
When sub-fonts are added, all fonts registered within the font family will be displayed in the same font weight.
Common uses for sub-fonts
1. Setting up a composite font
You can combine sub-fonts to create a composite font that mixes Japanese and Latin characters.
For example, if you arrange the fonts in the following order, hiragana and punctuation will use (1), single-byte alphanumeric characters will use (2), and kanji and full-width symbols will use (3).
Kana font
English font
Japanese font
2. Specifying fonts for each device when using system fonts
If you only specify a system font, a different font may be automatically applied depending on the environment, which can cause inconsistencies in your design.
By registering representative fonts for each OS as sub-fonts, you can keep the display closer to what you intend.
For commonly used system fonts, refer to official resources such as the following:
Handy features for managing fonts
Setting the default font
The default font is the font family that's automatically applied when you add new text. The font family at the top of the Font List becomes the default font.
In an empty project, "Lato" is the initial default font.
Open the [Text] tab in the right panel. If the panel is closed, open the right panel.
Under [Typography], click the [Font] input field.
In the Font List, drag the font family you want to set as the default to the top.
Adding a label (name)
Adding a label to a font family makes it easier to manage fonts across your site. We recommend using names that clearly indicate where the font is used, such as "Heading 1" or "Body."
Open the [Text] tab in the right panel. If the panel is closed, open the right panel.
Under [Typography], click the [Font] input field.
In the Font List, click the icon
next to the font name you want to rename.In the [Font Settings] panel, click the [Name] input field and enter a label name.
Checking where each font is used
You can see which pages each font family is used on directly in the editor. This is helpful when you want to understand the impact before deleting or replacing a font.
Select a text box.
Open the [Text] tab in the right panel. If the panel is closed, open the right panel.
Under [Typography], click the [Font] input field.
Click the icon
next to the label name.Open the [Usage] toggle at the bottom of the [Font Settings] panel.
You can now see which pages use this font family.
With the relevant page open, hover over a page in the list to highlight where the font is being used on screen.
