Custom Fonts
Use your brand fonts in engraving options and PDFs. Learn how to upload custom fonts, create font groups and choose fonts for products and PDFs.
Mimeeq provides a variety of default fonts, and you can also add your own. You can organise fonts into groups for easier access, such as in the Text & Engraving Widget. This article shows you how to upload custom fonts, create font groups and use them in Mimeeq.
How to upload a custom font
Go to the Media Library.
Open the system folder named Fonts.
Click Upload new files and add your font.
Uploading multiple font styles
If you plan to use different font styles, such as Regular, Bold or Italic, upload each font style file separately. For example, create a folder named "Inter" and upload Regular, Bold, Italic, Thin and other styles there. Uploading each style separately gives a 100% expected result when adding the Engraving option to your product.
If you upload only one style, such as Inter Regular, and then select multiple styles (like Bold or Italic) in the Engraving widget's Font Style Options, the result is generated automatically. It may not be what you want or expect, potentially leading to discrepancies.
How to add fonts to a font group
Adding your font to a group is optional. It is useful if you want to select a Font Group at the product level for the Text & Engraving Widget. You then don't have to select fonts manually for each product. You can still use a single font for your product if you prefer.
To create a font group and add fonts to it:
Open Settings, go to Font Groups under the Data section, and click New Group.
Assign a unique and descriptive name to your group.
Once named, you are redirected to the Font Group details page.
Creating a new Font Group under Settings → Data → Font Groups Click Add Font to assign fonts to your group.
Font Group details page with the Add Font button Select the fonts you want to assign from the list, which includes both Default and Custom fonts uploaded in the Media Library. Use Search and the Default and Custom Font filters to speed up the process.

Using a single font or font group in the Text & Engraving Widget
In the Text & Engraving Widget, you pick a Font Source:
Single Font is chosen by default. It lets you select one font (either default or custom) for this product. The end user cannot choose a font and will use the font you selected.
Font Group lets end users pick any font from a group you set up. After selecting Font Group, a settings icon appears next to the title. Click it to open the Font Group settings, where you can change the group before saving the product.
How to customise fonts in PDF
Navigate to Settings → Embed Templates.
Choose the embed template where you want to apply changes.
Scroll to the PDF Settings section.
Pick the font you want to use from the dropdown menu. You can choose from default fonts or custom fonts you have uploaded to the Media Library.
