Hi Tan

It will not help to install a font on the server. You need to use a webfont:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Styling_text/Web_fonts

Then it can be used in the editor if you configure the editor.css to use that.

Hi Yoon

The answer is the same as to the first question in this thread. It does not help to install an OTF font on the server.

What you need is to find the font as what is known as a "web font" and use that. A webfont can be uploaded to the backend in files and then you need a reference to it in your templates and css.

If you cannot find this font as a web font, you can convert it using an online converter - look for a converter in Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=convert+to+webfont

Not all fonts convert nicely - but usually otf fonts should be ok.

Here is an article on how to use webfonts: https://www.fontspring.com/support/how-do-i-use-the-webfonts
