Hello!

Is it possible to use different fonts in HTML5? I've tried copying the non-stack files, but whenever I reach a card with a custom font, it crashes. Is it simply not possible?

Second question - is there a list of fonts that I can safely use?

Or if I'm just doing it all wrong, please let me know!

Dit you ever get the fonts working?

No. I emailed Support about it and they were very helpful. They mentioned that they were noticing an issue with some fonts. I tried a few things but in the end I gave up and decided that the default font was good enough for me.

Did you get an answer to the question " is there a list of fonts that I can safely use?"
I am starting with HTML5 and for some of the fields I need to change the standard font (I am using System) to a monospace one like Courier, Monaco or Lucida.
Any ideas?

No, I didn't. I just ended up using the default font.

Lucida or Courier might work, though, since they are pretty standard fonts.

Try searching the web for "web safe fonts" and you will find a pile of lists of what designers have run into...

This is a site that I trust, but the list looks pretty short to me. They recommend Courier as a monospaced font.

Good luck
