Typography Manager Question
10 replies · Started by Marius on July 3, 2022
For me, the new Typography Manager is quiet confusing.
On a new installation, I have this setting:
Target Element: Body
Font Familiy: System Default
Fontsize: 20
Line Height: empty
Letter Spacing:empty
Paragraph Bottom Margin:empty
Why are the last 3 settings empty? Which settings are on the page, when they are empty?
And does "Font Familiy: System Default" mean, it is the system stack?
Why are the last 3 settings empty?
They are not empty by default (only letter spacing is empty) when you first add bodyto the typography manager, did you remove the values at some point?
Which settings are on the page, when they are empty?
I'm not sure what this means, can you explain a bit more?
And does “Font Familiy: System Default” mean, it is the system stack?
Yes, correct.
No, they were empty on a fresh installement. Is this a problem?
This is what the default install looks like:

It was a fresh install. But I have importer settings from a test page. So, what to do?
Hi Sonja,
I see. By default, the font should already be System Default/System Stack.
You can simply delete this which would be fine, or if you plan to add a font-family, you may set the font-size, line-height etc. to your preference: https://share.getcloudapp.com/12uLgE2Q
Hope this clarifies!
Hi Fernando,
my question is, if i can leave it like i postet above, or if i should add numbers to the empty fields? And if yes, which numbers should i add?
Well, deleting that specific typography setting should be safe. If you don’t want to delete it, here are the default settings: https://share.getcloudapp.com/L1uXRk4L

I must come back to this topic.
I have a fresh Instalation and the font manager is emty again.
Where can i choose the system font? I only can choose between Arial, Helvetica, Times NEw Roman and Georgia.
Hi there,
When you Add Typography, and have selected a Target Element you can select the System Default:
Hi David,
ah, okay, and then I simply leave the fontmanager empty?
And must I set for every entry in the Typography Manager the System Default? Or should I choose inherit?
