To enhance font consistency across browsers and devices, we've removed non-web-safe fonts from our app. This ensures that content appears as intended, regardless of where it's viewed, improving the overall user experience for both you and your prospects.
🤔 Why we deprecated non-web-safe fonts
Non-web-safe fonts like Calibri, Roboto, Montserrat, and others often render differently across devices, operating systems, and browsers. This inconsistency can lead to situations where you see one font, but your candidates and clients see another. By standardizing the use of web-safe fonts, such as Arial, Times New Roman, and Verdana, we ensure content is displayed uniformly for all users.
Inconsistent font rendering can negatively affect the professionalism and readability of your communications, whether it's an email, job description, or other content.

What Does This Mean for You?
Editor Fonts: These deprecated fonts are no longer available directly in our text editors. However, you can still use them by manually adding the font in the source code.
Existing Templates: If you have existing email templates using non-web-safe fonts, those will remain unchanged. Emails sent from those templates will continue to display in the selected font style.
🔐 How to Use Non-Web-Safe Fonts
Although these fonts have been removed from the editor, you can still use them if needed by following these steps:
Access the source code of your content.
Manually add the desired non-web-safe font from the list above.
Keep in mind, that users viewing the content on devices or browsers that do not support the font may see an alternate font.
⚠️ Considerations for non-web-safe fonts in the source code
How operating systems, devices or browsers affect the font:
When content is delivered/accessed, the operating system, browser, or device checks if the specified font is available. If not, it substitutes it with a font that is similar to the one available.
For example, using fonts like Calibri, Ink-Free, or Proxima-Nova may cause your content to display differently depending on the viewer's device or browser. This can affect readability and the overall presentation of your content.
To avoid such issues, we highly recommend sticking to web-safe fonts like Arial, Courier New, Georgia, and Tahoma for maximum consistency.
