FAQ

How do I use my own fonts in LaTeX and Typst?

• Upload .ttf or .otf files into the project. A fonts/ folder keeps them out of the way.

• Typst: name the family. Font files anywhere in the project are found.

  #set text(font: "Fira Sans")
  

• LaTeX: use fontspec and name the file. fontspec switches the project to XeLaTeX. Fonts are found by file name only, not by family name. Drop Path= when the file sits next to the main file.

  \setmainfont{FiraSans-Regular.otf}[Path=fonts/, BoldFont=FiraSans-Bold.otf]
  

• pdfLaTeX cannot use .ttf or .otf files.

• .woff and .woff2 files are for HTML. Typst and LaTeX cannot read them.

• HTML previews use the browser’s default fonts. Use the PDF view to see your fonts.

• Everyone who can open the project, read links included, downloads the font files. Check that the font licence allows that.
