Web Fonts in Emails

OL Connect Professional Designer
1

I’ve hit a wall when trying to provide non-standard fonts in emails.

When designing the email, I’m using the web font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap

The preview appears fine within Connect Designer, however all email clients ignore the font specifications. Inspecting the eml file clearly shows the required web font links embedded within the email meta content.

May I please enquire how to best approach use of emails with specific fonts? Should these be embedded in the email as static content?

Thanks. Its a surprisingly positive article, considering the bottom line is that most email clients won’t support Web Fonts.

Unfortunately, it is true for many options with mail clients. Maybe one day some of them will come together and standardize all of this (hey, one can hope :wink: )
