Would you have plan to support multiple font fallbacks?

    Hi Blocksy Dev Team,

    For users who use CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters, the current option of selecting a single font is somewhat inadequate. We might wish to set multiple fallback fonts so that characters from different languages or unicode ranges can be displayed using different fonts.

    For example:

    p {
      --theme-font-family: Roboto, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, PingFang TC, 黑體-繁, Heiti TC, 蘋果儷中黑, Apple LiGothic Medium, 微軟正黑體, Microsoft JhengHei, sans-serif;
    }

    Would you have any plan for that? Even if multiple dropdown menus cannot be provided, perhaps a flexible option could be offered, allowing users to directly enter the complete string is okay.

  • Hello @hsins,

    Regrettably, we do not currently have a feature like this available. I will add it to our feature requests list for future consideration by our developers.

    In the meantime, the system should be developer-friendly, allowing you to modify the CSS to suit your needs. You may find it useful to use CSS to adjust your font declarations until the feature is implemented.

    Thank you.

    Hmm… All themes can be considered “developer-friendly” as long as the developer’s skills are sufficient. I surely understand that these issues can be handled through custom CSS, but the reason for suggesting this is because it’s still somewhat troublesome.

    Additionally, not all users are developers, and being able to choose multiple fonts to implement font fallback functionality is likely a need for many users that I think:)

    Hello @hsins

    I acknowledge your concern, but we cannot prioritize a single request over our ongoing tasks. We have pressing commitments that require our attention, and we will prioritize your request accordingly.

    We will provide you with updates as more information becomes available.

    Thanks again!
