How to manage fonts in WooCommerce Product Designer

Fonts are one of the most basic features in online product customization and yet one of the most critical ones. WooCommerce Product Designer does not only allow you to use google fonts in your designs but also to add custom TTF fonts which you can use directly on the canvas and in the output PDF files. This tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about the fonts feature in WooCommerce Product Designer.

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.

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

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 it’s 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.
