Scenario
You are using Exclaimer, and you wish to apply a custom font to a signature element.
Resolution
NOTE: The steps here assume that you have already created an email signature. For more information, see how to create an email signature.
To add custom fonts:
- Open your signature template in the Signature Designer.
- Select or add any text-based element. These are:
-Text
-Address {Fields}
-Personal {Fields}
-Contact{Fields}
-All {Fields}
-Legal Disclaimer
-Registered Office
-Headline Content
-Microsoft Bookings
-Calendly
- In the Properties pane, expand the Text section or, for Microsoft Bookings and Calendly, the Calendar Sharing Button section.
- Under Font Family, select Manage.
Select your text, then select Manage.
The Custom Fonts window is displayed.
The Custom Fonts window when no fonts have been added.
- Select +Upload Font. This opens File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
- Locate and select the required font file, then select Open.
NOTE: Font files must be in the .ttf or .otf file formats. The maximum file size is 1MB.
The Custom Fonts window once a font is uploaded.
- Select OK to return to the canvas.
The uploaded custom font becomes available for selection in the Custom Fonts section of the Font Family drop-down list.
Select the arrow to open the drop-down. Your font is found under Custom Fonts.
NOTE: You only need to add a custom font once. An uploaded font is available for use in any Font selection within the current template. - To set your text to your uploaded font, select your font from the Font Family drop-down menu. This renders your signature as a bitmap, which is required to correctly display custom fonts.
Select Yes in the bitmap warning pop-up.
WARNING! Rendering your signature as a bitmap may cause quality or display issues. Signatures using uploaded custom fonts can only be rendered as bitmaps to be usable. For information on using a custom font without rendering as a bitmap, see How to use font stacks in Exclaimer and Difference between custom fonts and font stacks. - Select Save Changes to save your template, or select Cancel Changes to revert any changes made.
