Fonts in HTML5
Hello!
Is it possible to use different fonts in HTML5? I've tried copying the non-stack files, but whenever I reach a card with a custom font, it crashes. Is it simply not possible?
Second question - is there a list of fonts that I can safely use?
Or if I'm just doing it all wrong, please let me know!

Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
Dit you ever get the fonts working?
Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
No. I emailed Support about it and they were very helpful. They mentioned that they were noticing an issue with some fonts. I tried a few things but in the end I gave up and decided that the default font was good enough for me.
Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
Did you get an answer to the question " is there a list of fonts that I can safely use?"
I am starting with HTML5 and for some of the fields I need to change the standard font (I am using System) to a monospace one like Courier, Monaco or Lucida.
Any ideas?

Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
No, I didn't. I just ended up using the default font.
Lucida or Courier might work, though, since they are pretty standard fonts.

Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
Try searching the web for "web safe fonts" and you will find a pile of lists of what designers have run into...
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
This is a site that I trust, but the list looks pretty short to me. They recommend Courier as a monospaced font.
Good luck
