Important notes for projects using FONTPLUS

If you restore a version from the version history in a project that used FONTPLUS fonts, the FONTPLUS font settings will also be restored. After April 8, 2026, any text using those fonts will be displayed with fallback system fonts instead.

Q&A

Q. How long can I use FONTPLUS? When does the service end?

  • A. Due to the end of our contract with Monotype, FONTPLUS fonts will be discontinued on April 7, 2026. Starting April 8, 2026, FONTPLUS fonts set in Studio.Design will stop being delivered and will be automatically replaced with system fonts or similar alternatives.

Q. What will happen to my site after the service ends? Will there be layout issues or garbled text?

A. Starting April 8, 2026, any text still using FONTPLUS fonts will automatically be replaced with fallback system fonts. Due to differences in font characteristics and character widths, line breaks, line spacing, and other layout elements may shift, potentially affecting your site's design and layout.

Q. Which fonts will become unavailable?

A. You can check the full list of affected fonts here:

Q. What do I need to do, and by when? Can you walk me through the steps?

A. We recommend replacing any affected FONTPLUS fonts with alternative fonts by April 7, 2026.

Any affected fonts that haven't been replaced will be automatically switched to fallback system fonts starting April 8, 2026.

Here's an example workflow:

  1. Check where FONTPLUS fonts are being used. See: "Manage fonts used on your site".

  2. Switch to alternative fonts. See: "Setting, replacing, and deleting fonts".

  3. Check the results using Live Preview, and if everything looks good, update your site.

Q. What alternative fonts are available? Do you have any recommendations?

  • A. We've prepared an alternative font list as a reference, featuring fonts that will remain available in Studio.Design after April 8, 2026.

    For some fonts, we haven't suggested alternatives because no close match was available from a design perspective.

    This list is provided as a reference only. Please choose your replacement fonts based on the specific design requirements of your project.

    Note: System Fonts are not included in this list.

Q. Can the end-of-service date be extended?

A. We held extensive discussions with Monotype in an effort to continue offering FONTPLUS. However, considering the long-term stability and sustainability of our service, we made the difficult decision to end the contract.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this causes our users.

We're committed to minimizing the impact and will continue to support you through this transition.
