Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Typography Stylist
Connect Adobe Fonts (Typekit) by pasting your project's embed code
Define custom fonts loaded through your theme, plugins, or CDN (like Google Fonts)
Load fonts manually using @font-face in your theme
The plugin can apply OpenType features to any font loaded on your site, but previews in the admin settings page will only work for fonts uploaded or connected through the plugin.
How do I upload custom fonts?
Go to Settings → Typography Stylist → Custom Fonts tab
Enter a name for your font kit
Click "Choose ZIP File" and select your webfont kit ZIP
Click "Upload Font Kit"
Scroll to "Adobe Fonts (Typekit)" section
Enter a project name
Paste your Adobe Fonts embed code (the tag)
Optionally enter font family names for the preview selector
Click "Add Adobe Fonts Project"
Make sure your domain is authorized in your Adobe Fonts project settings, if applicable. The fonts will load directly from Adobe's servers.
How do I define custom fonts from my theme?
If you have fonts already loaded through your theme, another plugin, or a CDN:
Go to Settings → Typography Stylist → Custom Fonts tab
Scroll to "Custom Font Definitions" section
Enter a display name for the font
Enter the exact CSS font-family value (e.g., 'Playfair Display', serif)
Optionally add fallback fonts separated by commas
Click "Add Custom Font"
The font will be available in the block editor font selector, although features will not be available for preview on the admin settings page.
Can I set fallback fonts?
Yes! For any font source (uploaded, Adobe Fonts, or custom definitions), you can specify fallback fonts. These will be used if the primary font fails to load. Fallbacks are automatically included in the CSS font-family declaration.
Is this plugin accessible?
The plugin includes accessibility features for screen reader compatibility:
Inline Format Warnings: Detects when you select partial words (which can fragment text for screen readers) and shows a warning with options to convert to an accessible block or apply anyway
Typography Stylist Block: Custom block designed for complex typography that includes ARIA markup with screen reader-accessible text
ARIA Label Support: Optional setting to add aria-label attributes to inline formatted text (Settings → Typography Stylist → Accessibility)
Screen Reader Classes: the Typography Stylist block uses configurable classes (visually-hidden, sr-only, or custom) to hide styled text from screen readers while providing clean text
Dual Content Approach: The block provides duplicate content - one version styled for visual users, one clean version for assistive technology
For visual display: Styled text with aria-hidden="true" to prevent screen readers from reading fragmented content with complex OpenType features.
Use Typography Stylist Block when you need letter-by-letter styling, complex typography, or maximum accessibility control
The plugin will warn you if an inline selection might cause accessibility issues.
What file formats are supported for font uploads?
The plugin accepts ZIP files containing:
- CSS files with @font-face declarations
- Font files: WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF
Is font upload secure?
Yes! The plugin implements multiple security measures:
- File type validation
- ZIP extraction security
- Path traversal protection
- CSS sanitization
- 10MB size limit for uploads
- Secure storage with .htaccess protection
Is this compatible with page builders?
This plugin is designed for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). Compatibility with page builders depends on their implementation of rich text formatting.
Will this slow down my site?
The plugin uses CSS font-feature-settings which is hardware-accelerated in modern browsers. Performance impact depends on font file sizes and loading strategy. The plugin includes JavaScript in the block editor but uses only CSS for frontend rendering.
How do I know which features my font supports?
Check your font's documentation, or use the plugin to experiment. Features that aren't supported simply won't affect the text.
