Web fonts that you see in the Web Font Manager can be used in any of the mailing tools (Events mailing, Contacts Mailing & Data Privacy mailing) but only in Drag and Drop mode. 

Select a web font in your email

  1. Start by Creating a new mailing or Editing an existing mailing

  2. Ensure you are in Drag & Drop mode by going to the Choose Template tab and clicking the Drag & Drop button

  3. Go to the Design tab

  4. Add a text element or select an existing text element.

  5. Highlight the text

  6. In the toolbar adjacent to the text, open the font dropdown. Select the web font you want to use.

  7. You should see the font you highlighted change to your web font.


Testing your fall back font 

Once you have designed the email using your desired web font it is important to ensure that the email looks good if the fallback font is used. According to Litmus, 51% of the market uses email clients that do not support web fonts (such as Gmail).

  1. Go to the Preview & Send step of your email
  2. Click the “A” icon to toggle off web fonts
