Fonts in the template editor

Type in a Pictor template comes from Google Fonts, from fonts already used elsewhere in the template, or from a font file you upload yourself. This is where you choose between them.

What fonts can I use?

Two sources:

• Google Fonts — the full library, searchable from inside the editor.

• Your own fonts — uploaded to your Asset Library and picked from there.

Choosing a font

1. Open your template in the template editor.

2. Select a text element.

3. Open Font Settings.

Use Search fonts to find anything else in the Google Fonts library by name.

TipIn This Template is the fastest way to keep a design consistent. Pick from there rather than searching again and accidentally choosing a near-match.

Search the Google Fonts library, or reuse a font already in the template.

Using your own font

Your font has to be in your Asset Library before you can use it.

1. Go to the Asset Library and upload your font file.

2. Open your template and select a text element.

3. Open Font Settings and click Add custom font.

4. Pick your font from the library.

5. Click Use.

Add custom font opens your Asset Library, filtered to fonts.

Note - Use a WOFF2, WOFF, TTF or OTF file. These load reliably in the browser and on the booth.

Important - If a font file will not load, your text quietly falls back to a default font rather than showing an error. If your text looks wrong, that is why — check the font file first.

Tip - Always run a Simulation test after adding a custom font and look at a real output. A font that renders on your computer is not guaranteed to render on the booth.

Licensing your font

Make sure you have the right to use the font commercially. Pictor does not check this for you, and a font licensed for personal use only should not go on client work.
