Available fonts
The render engine has a curated set of font families pre-installed, so your PDFs render deterministically with zero network fetches. Reference any of them by name in your CSS with a generic fallback:
body { font-family: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif; }| Family | Recommended stack | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Inter | 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif | Clean UI sans; a great default. |
Source Serif 4 | 'Source Serif 4', Georgia, serif | Editorial text serif; proposals, letters. |
IBM Plex Serif | 'IBM Plex Serif', Georgia, serif | Rational serif; formal and legal documents. |
IBM Plex Sans | 'IBM Plex Sans', system-ui, sans-serif | Engineered sans; pairs with the other Plex families. |
IBM Plex Sans Condensed | 'IBM Plex Sans Condensed', sans-serif | Dense operational documents: labels, manifests. |
IBM Plex Mono | 'IBM Plex Mono', monospace | Identifiers, references, tabular codes. |
EB Garamond | 'EB Garamond', Georgia, serif | Oldstyle serif; certificates, academic documents. |
Roboto | 'Roboto', system-ui, sans-serif | Neutral, highly legible. |
Open Sans | 'Open Sans', system-ui, sans-serif | Friendly, wide language coverage. |
Lato | 'Lato', system-ui, sans-serif | Warm, humanist sans. |
Noto Sans | 'Noto Sans', sans-serif | Broad Unicode + CJK coverage. |
DejaVu Sans | 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif | Robust fallback, wide glyph set. |
Custom fonts
External font sources are not reliable: Google Fonts <link> tags are always stripped at render time, and an @font-face rule pointing at an external url() is either dropped or rewritten through our resource proxy, never fetched directly. For deterministic output, use a pre-installed family above or embed the font as a data: URI inside an @font-face rule:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyBrand';
src: url(data:font/woff2;base64,d09GMgAB…) format('woff2');
}Keep embedded fonts small (subset to the glyphs you use) to stay within the template size limit. For most invoices and receipts, the pre-installed families are all you need.
