Google Fonts Support

planned

John Redhead

Ability to use Google Fonts or Typekit fonts and deliver over the web when uploaded to the cloud, to negate having to install fonts on your mobile. I hate having to tell my customer that they have to install this, or that font to see it in protopie.

We spent weeks building a complex prototype with Protopie just to find out it has font issues, still in 2023. Google fonts at that. The prototype is unusable now and unfortunately, I will never recommend this product to any other design team. Protopie was a waste of time and money, and knowing what we know now, It would have been easier to code it out.

Support for Google fonts will be introduced for both Enterprise and Pro plan users late 2023.

What about web fonts? With that we could use Google Fonts saving us all a headache.

It would also be nice to see compatibility extended to Fontbase and other third party managers on windows.

Kinga Krokoszynska

Yes, we experience similar problem. Especially when you test your prototype remotely with 10 different elderly users, so you cannot install fonts on Users phones. It is really pain in the ass, when fonts are the important part of your design and do not display correctly. Please, please, please improve this!

Support Adobe Typekit fonts

Adobe fonts don't appear as font options inside ProtoPie, but would be a powerful feature for the many Adobe subscribers out here. There would also need to be an easy path to using the fonts inside remote prototypes though.

Fonts used should simply be embedded in the prototype.

John Redhead

Tom Maebe: Problem with that Tom is that you may use a font that can't legally be embedded. But ideally I do agree with you, then the pie doesn't have to connect continuously to the web to be seen.

John Redhead: The same could be said about images, sounds or videos though. It's anyway the responsibility of the user to only share content they have the right to share.

Definitely would prefer font embedding over Google Fonts integration. I already have the fonts I need on my machine. Having to find substitutes on Google Fonts just slows down prototyping.

Simon Theis

John Redhead: In Sketch and Abstract you can upload and embed fonts into documents - you just agree to a legal statement, that you are allowed to do so - they make you take legal responsibility - I think that's a good solution
