Adding Adobe Fonts

  • Adobe doesn’t allow local fonts to be added to web projects. Thus, the add fonts function in the plugin currently doesn’t support Adobe Fonts. Is there any workaround for this? Adding the font via css, as Adobe suggests, is inconvenient as it does not show the font in the editor. It would be nice to be able to add fonts from an Adobe Web Project the same way you can add Google fonts.

    Hi @sjonvugt. I believe that Adobe does not allow you to host their font files yourself, so Create Block Theme will not be able to provide a workaround for this. Please see this answer from their font licensing page:

    No. Adobe doesn’t offer the ability to locally host fonts. Our web font hosting delivers fonts from a globally-distributed content delivery network (CDN), which performs much better and is more scalable than using local hosting for static assets.

    You might be able to add similar functionality with another plugin, such as Custom Adobe Fonts (Typekit), which may allow you to view the fonts in the editor.
