Article summary

You can change your User Portal font in three simple steps.

Planning on using the same font across all locations in your network?

Template files are individual to each location which means you'll need to repeat this process in each location within your network.

This tutorial guides you through the steps to use a single custom font for all pages of your User Portal.

If you'd like to use multiple fonts, consider hiring developers.

Step 1. Downloading Your Font File

The first step of the process is downloading your font file. You can use any font file from any website as long as it is in one of the following formats:

  • OTF
  • TTF
  • EOT
  • WOFF
  • WOFF2
Always make sure you have the relevant licenses if you use a font that isn't open-source.

If you're using Google Font, you can simply click Download family on the page of the font you want to use.
