How to Ensure Fonts Set in the Editor Display Correctly on PCs and Smartphones

When fonts you set in the editor appear differently on PCs and smartphones, it may be due to the use of System Fonts. Here's how to diagnose and fix this issue.

Tips: Understanding System Fonts

System Fonts are pre-installed on devices like Mac, Windows, and iOS. When you specify a System Font in the editor, it will display as intended only if that font is installed on the visitor’s device.

Otherwise, the device or browser will automatically substitute it with an available font.

Checking Your Font Settings

To verify if System Fonts are causing the display issue:

  1. Open your project and access the editor

  2. Select the problematic text

  3. In the style bar at the top, hover over "Font" in the Text tab

  4. Click ">" to open font details

  5. Copy the applied font name

  6. Search for this font name in the System Font dropdown

If you find the same font name in the search results, your text is using a System Font.

Solutions

If System Fonts Are the Cause:

  1. Set Subsidiary Fonts (Sub Fonts) for Different Environments *Coming soon

    • Configure alternative fonts for specific devices and browsers

    • This allows better control over font display across different platforms

  2. Switch to Web Fonts

    • Web fonts display consistently across all browsing environments

    • Available options include:

    • Google Fonts

    • TypeSquare (Morisawa) *Available to accounts set to Japanese

    • FONTPLUS

Note: Web fonts require loading time, which may affect site performance. Consider this trade-off when switching from System Fonts.

If System Fonts Are Not the Cause?

Best Practices

When working with fonts:

  • Consider your target audience's devices

  • Test your site across different platforms

  • Use web fonts for consistent branding

  • Balance performance with design needs
