So I am aware this topic has been covered but I need someone to explain it to me like I am 5. > [@Custom Fonts in 8.3 Beta](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/custom-fonts-in-8-3-beta/110239): > > Hi there, I understand that version 8.3.0 is still in beta, and I appreciate the ongoing work being done. I’ve been trying to get custom fonts working, but I’m running into some trouble and could use a bit of guidance. I noticed that the documentation provides helpful details on including CSS files in themes, but I couldn’t find any examples specifically related to fonts. Just to make sure I’m on the right track, here’s what I’ve done so far: I created a custom font called “TestFont” using t… I have reference the thread above in trying to resolve my issue. We upgraded from 8.1.49 to 8.3.2 and our only issue is the global font changed from our custom font to another one. I have the fonts folder under data/config/resources/core/com.inductiveautomation.perspective/fonts. Under it I have the empty config.json folder my font files and this resource.json file: `{` ` "scope": "G",` ` "version": 1,` ` "restricted": false,` ` "overridable": true,` ` "files": [` ` "config.json",` ` "Manrope-Regular.ttf",` ` "Manrope-ExtraBold.ttf",` ` "Manrope-SemiBold.ttf",` ` "Manrope-ExtraLight.ttf",` ` "Manrope-Bold.ttf",` ` "Manrope-Medium.ttf",` ` "Manrope-Light.ttf"` ` ],` ` "attributes": {` ` "lastModification": {` ` "actor": "8.3-migration",` ` "timestamp": "2026-01-19T15:48:34Z"` ` },` ` "lastModificationSignature": "bbf53f908d5cf2b32d171701d143b846a35030f146e2d7df8e20a53cf06bcaa1"` ` }` `}` But can’t seem to get the font to appear. We did a file system scan and there are no resources errors in the logs. I would appreciate any help on understanding the issue here. edit: All of the files were migrated in the upgrade nothing has been changed from the defaults of what the upgrade created and performed. ---
