FAQs

Can I use the fonts for other Bynder Solutions?

No, you can only use these custom fonts in your Portal Theme.

What happens if my company changes fonts and I need to update the font family?

Follow the steps to upload the new font and apply it to your portal theme, then delete the outdated styles. 

Can I change the pre-filled data or edit the custom font once my custom font is uploaded?

You cannot change or edit the style once you've uploaded it.

Why is my font name different than I expected?

Upon uploading a custom font, the system will automatically extract and fill in the font metadata. If the font file’s metadata is incorrect (for example, the name is saved as "."), our system will not be able to detect the expected font name. You will need to correct the metadata and then upload the font again.
