Typefaces

Purpose

The Typefaces page in the Admin Console allows you to configure a custom typeface to be used for sites and portals on both web and mobile. The default typeface is Open Sans.

Access

To access the Typefaces page, go to the Admin Console. Then, in the left navigation menu, under System, click Typefaces.

Settings

Site objects use the active typeface in the branding preview, but you will always see the default typeface when editing interface objects.

Up to nine typefaces can be added, but only one can be active at a time.

To add a custom typeface:

1. Click Add Typeface.
2. Enter the name of the typeface.
3. Add WOFF, WOFF2, OTF, or TTF files for each weight.
4. (Optional) Additional sets of files, called language groups, can also be added from this dialog.
5. Click OK.

To select an active typeface:

1. In the typefaces grid, select a typeface in the Active column. The preview updates to show the selected typeface.
2. Click SAVE CHANGES to make your selection active.

Sites update automatically after a refresh. A portal updates after it is republished. To view the typeface in the Appian Mobile application, sign out and back into the application.

See Custom Typefaces for more information.
