[Support request] Adding new font – settings

[Mel]

Hi, I added a new font to my site, replacing the default template fonts. I am using the MyPet template. The new font is Helvetica Neue.

I am in the settings at Customizing > Typography > Font Manager.
I deleted the previous default fonts after I changed the items for Base and Content to Helvetica Neue.
Should I leave Header/Site Title and Primary Navigation at “inherit”?
Do I choose “Use Google Fonts API”? If yes, what do I enter for Category and Variants?
What do I select for Google font-display? (It was on “Swap”).

Thanks
Mel

Hi there,

Is Helvetica Neue a Google font? I don’t see it listed.

I just checked, it is not a google font.

Do you know if I need a license to use Helvetica Neue on the website? Do I need to embed any font files, if yes how?

What will happen if a visitor doesn’t have Helvetica Neue installed don their system?

These aren’t questions that we/theme support can answer. It should be an easy Google search though 🙂

A custom font can be added using this method:
