Hey jamestieu ,

 

the fonts in your JSON have to have the identical name like in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts

If you have multiple font files (for example "Assistant-Bold.ttf", "Assistant-ExtraBold.ttf", "Assistant-ExtraLight.ttf", etc.), then you have to add all of them to your JSON file.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards

Hi Den,

 

I tried something like this:

{"name":"Custom","dataColors":["#8285D8","#1F1F29","#EBEBEB","#F8F8F8","#08080F", "#013E61", "#41007B"],"visualStyles":{"*":{"*":{"*":[{"fontFamily":"Asssitant-Light.ttf, Assistant-Bold.ttf", "color":{"solid":{}}}]}}}}

But then I got this:

 

I also tried this:

{"name":"Orkestra","dataColors":["#8285D8","#1F1F29","#EBEBEB","#F8F8F8","#08080F", "#013E61", "#41007B"],"visualStyles":{"*":{"*":{"*":[[{"fontFamily":"Asssitant-Light.ttf", "color":{"solid":{}}}], [{"fontFamily":"Asssitant-Bold.ttf", "color":{"solid":{}}}]]}}}}

 

You will see a multi-level list of font-families in the object:

[[{"fontFamily":"Asssitant-Light.ttf", "color":{"solid":{}}}], [{"fontFamily":"Asssitant-Bold.ttf", "color":{"solid":{}}}]]

 

 

It imported successfully, but none of the fonts are available to use.

 

Can you help?
