A fallback font is a secondary font used as a backup in case your brand typography doesn't support special characters for different languages. In this guide, we'll show you how to set up fallback fonts when working with multi-language variations.
How to Set up a Fallback Font
If you have special characters that aren't supported in a specific language, you can notice it in the preview header, and you can follow these steps:
- Click on the
icon.
- Select
Set fallback fonts.
- A pop-up window¹ opens where you can find the exact languages that need fallback fonts.
- Assign the fallback fonts² as needed.
- Once done, click Confirm.
- You can return to the preview header and cycle through the variations to ensure that everything looks in order.
Note¹: You can open the same window if you go to the left sidebar, select Brand, and navigate to the Fonts tab.
Note²: We will prompt you to choose another fallback font if you select a font that still doesn't support special characters.
Note³: It's important to note that every fallback font set is saved to the brand kit assigned to the design you're currently working on.
