Uses the custom font in drag and drop email

[AnkurKhetan]

Hi,

We have created an email with drag and drop, in which we have to use custom web font in font dropdown list editor, like Roboto font.
so please explain how to do this

Hi @AnkurKhetan

Unfortunately using custom font in email is a notoriously tricky for the simple reason that the font you select won't display for the recipient unless they have that particular font installed. Which is why the font selection is limited for email.

You can use Google fonts on websites because most browsers will support Google Font - but this is not true for email. Google Fonts will only display on certain email clients such as Apple Mail; iPhone; iPad
Android Mail (native app, not Gmail); Thunderbird. 

So the safest option for your email to display nicely for the vast majority of your recipients is to select from the default options that are available to you in the marketing email module. I would probably choose Open Sans as a close alternative. 

Hope that helps.
