Anyway to add a custom font to a template that I am missing without using full custom HTML and removing the use of the drag and drop elements? Would be good if the email designer had options for custom css or code so that we could put in a web font.

Hi LaTesha —
This isn’t currently possible.
If this interests you, submit feedback to our product team here: http://ideas.activecampaign.com
… and add a comment that the ability to use Google Fonts, or something similar, within designer campaigns would be helpful.

I am considering switching from mailchimp but not having webfonts or custom css is really difficult. Please add!

Not sure if AC has replied back with a solution for using custom (Google) fonts, but it’s essentially how you would do it in Mailchimp. By the way, Mailchimp doesn’t use custom fonts either, so you have to use a similar hack using the HTML blocks. I should also point out that at this point in time (April 5, 2020) there are still very few email clients (desktop or web-based) that are actually capable of displaying custom web fonts.
Anyway, I wrote an article on my blog on how to do it, which you can read by clicking on the link below:

Hello there Juan! Thanks a lot for the great insights!
When it comes to adding custom fonts to your campaigns, this is not always recommended as not all email provider accept all type of fonts, so they can display differently on your contact’s end. All of our fonts available within the email designer are accepted by most email service providers. That said, if you are still interested on getting the custom ones, then you can totally build it using your own custom-coded HTML email. I will attach our article in regards for reference.

Hope this helps, keep us posted with any other questions!
