Managing fonts

Before editing text formats, you will need to determine the set of fonts used. Content Design System Manager (CDSM) supports fonts from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, and your own fonts in WOFF format.

Note: custom fonts are not available in the free version of Setka Editor.

To add new fonts, open any text format from the list on the left and go to Manage Fonts. Then select fonts from Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or upload your own font. New font will appear in the Font family dropdown inside the text format.

Adding fonts from Google Fonts

To add new fonts:

1. Go to Manage Fonts and then into the Google Fonts tab.

2. Enter the font name in the search bar and select it:

3. Select the necessary languages and click Save.

4. Font will appear in the Font family dropdown inside the text format.

Adding fonts from Adobe Fonts

To add new fonts:

1. Go to Manage Fonts and then into the Adobe Fonts tab.

2. Enter your Adobe Fonts API Token.

3. Adobe Fonts web projects will sync with Setka Editor. Click Sync projects to update the project list manually. Select the desired web project. Only one web project can be connected with one style, but there are no restrictions on the number of fonts in this web project.

4. Fonts will appear in the Font family dropdown inside the text format. You will see several font groups if Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts are used simultaneously – to determine the font's source if names are the same.

Important note: Setka Editor styles do not support the Adobe Fonts' Dynamic subsetting option.

Getting an Adobe Fonts API Token

To get an API Token:

1. Log into your Adobe Fonts account and click on the avatar in the top right corner. Select API Tokens in the menu:

2. Click Make me a new API token or copy the existing one:

Uploading custom fonts

To add custom fonts, go to Manage fonts, then to the Upload fonts tab. Upload your fonts in the WOFF format. Files can be renamed afterward. Don't forget to click Save to see your fonts in the Font family dropdown list inside a text format.

Deleting fonts

Go to Manage fonts. You will see badges of uploaded fonts in the Google Fonts and Upload fonts tabs. Hover the mouse on one of them and click on the cross in the top right corner.

Each badge shows the number of text formats the font is used in. Make sure that you are not deleting the font in use.

Deleting Adobe's fonts

If you delete a font from an Adobe Fonts web project, it will automatically disconnect from your site and Setka Editor preview.

Editing text formats

Use the Text formats menu on the left to configure desired formats and fonts.

When creating a style from scratch, some default text formats will be available:

  • Paragraph — simple text. Uses the

    tag in an article HTML code.

  • Extra Large Header, Large Header, Medium Header, Small Header — headers of different sizes. Uses tags from

    to respectively, in an article HTML code.

  • Small Text — caption text. Uses the

    tag in an article HTML code.

Image captions can also be configured. One of the existing text formats is selectable for them. Captions use the Small Text by default.

Adding a text format

Click Add text format to create the new one. Configure the following:

Font size

To change font size, go to Text formats > [Select text format] > Size. Font size is set in pixels (px).

Font weight

To change font weight, go to Text formats > [Select text format] > Weight. Where 400 is a normal weight, and 700 is a bold text.

Line height

To change font weight, go to Text formats > [Select text format] > Line height. The line height is set as a percentage (%) of the font height.

Reordering text formats

Sometimes reordering text formats is required. E.g., if you've created some custom formats and need them to be on top of the list.

Each text format except "Paragraph" can be dragged up or down, changing the order this way:

Rearranged text formats will appear in the editor after saving the style:

Custom bold and italic

Sometimes it’s not enough to highlight the text as bold or italic. You can use custom styles for bold and italic in such cases. This is a classic typography technique from books, magazines, and newspapers.

Stylized bold or italic gives more freedom to create beautiful and finely readable content.

To configure custom formatting for bold and italic, go to Text formats > [Select text format] > Advanced bold & italic. Activate the Custom appearance for Bold text or Custom appearance for Italic text item respectively:

Custom settings for mobile devices

Content Design System Manager (CDSM) provides style previews for different device types. To switch between them, use the Desktop / Tablet / Mobile buttons at the top.

Text formats can also be customized for mobile devices. E.g., if the font looks too large on a smartphone, it can be downscaled or even changed for another one.

To set font settings for smartphones and tablets:

1. Go to Text formats > [Select text format] > Screen size -> Tablet / Mobile.

2. Activate Custom appearance for mobile screen or Custom appearance for a tablet screen, respectively.

3. Styles for smartphones and tablets will be the same as in the Desktop section. But any of their parameters can be fine-tuned:

Setka Editor posts use 3 to switch layouts from desktop to mobile:

  • Mobile: 0-767px. The layout is fully customizable via CDSM and the post editor itself.

  • Tablet: 768-991px. Only text formats can be customized via CDSM. The layout stays the same as the desktop version.

  • Desktop: 992px and over.

Additional settings

You can additionally configure the appearance of links and image captions.

Links

To set appearance for links, go to Text formats > Links.

Links can be:

  • Underlined (Underline style).

  • Written in uppercase (Letter Case).

  • Highlighted by increased letter spacing (Letter Spacing).

Captions for images and embeds

To set captions appearance for images and embeds, go to Text formats > Image captions. Captions are written in one of the already configured text formats.
