How to add your own fonts – Allada T-shirt Designer

What is the font feature?

Font features are a way to enable advanced text styles and effects.  Allada T-shirt Designer comes with over 600 Google fonts perfect for t-shirt customization. But you can always add more fonts to extend the default collection, True Type (TTF) and Open Type (OTF) font files are entirely supported.

The Fonts interface allows you to define which fonts you would like your clients to use when adding text to their designs. If you don’t define any font, the system default fonts will be used. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to manage fonts:

To manage the fonts, go to Allada > Fonts to access the fonts list.

• Click on the Add Font button to save your newly selected font to the product designer.

How to add custom web fonts?

How to add TTF fonts in Allada T-shirt Designer?

Custom TTF fonts are also supported by our Allada T-shirt designer. To add a TTF file take the following steps:

1. Visit https://transfonter.org/ to convert your TTF file to a web-ready file. This will make sure your file can be read by any browser.
2. Enter the font name in the name field.
3. Leave the URL field empty.
4. Click on the Add font file button to select the converted TTF file from step 1 related to the font you’re trying to add using WordPress’s default media uploader.
5. Each TTF file contains one or multiple font styles such as italic, bold and other. You need to make sure the TTF font file you just set has all its styles properly checked. For example, the ALEO font comes in multiple files such as:
   • Regular
   • Regular Italic
   • Bold
   • Bold Italic

While defining the font files, you’ll need to make sure that the “regular” TTF file has only the regular style checked. Then the “Regular Italic” will have both styles checked and so on.

6. Click on the Add Font button to save your newly selected font to the T-shirt designer.
