Hi Team,
I am using premium generatepress theme for my blog 'www.linuxbuzz.com'. I would like to add 'sans-serif' fonts.
I don't this font under typography --> font manager.
Could you please let me how can I add and enable sans-serif font.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi PK,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "I don’t this font under typography –> font manager.".
to clarify, were you asking how to use the new Typography options in GP 3.1?
Check our guide here - https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-local-fonts/
Hi Elvin,
I am using GP 3.1 and I know how to use New Typography options.
I want to use 'San-Serif' fonts which I don't find under Typography options.
It seems like it is not available in Typography.

Hi there,
in Customizer > Typography -->> Font Manager.
1. Add a new Font
2. in the Font Family Field add your font family name ie. sans-serif
3. DO NOT check the Google Font toggle if it appears.
You now have a sans-serif font you can add in your typography settings.
Hi David,
I did exactly the same steps that you have suggested above but it seems like 'sans-serif' are not available in default GP theme.
Why I am saying this because after doing your suggested steps, when I apply fonts to body or content fonts fallback to system-default fonts.
I am a little confused... sans-serif is not a font like Arial or Poppins or Roboto. It simply tells the browser to use its System font and the font should be sans serif ie. IT IS NOT A SERIF FONT.
