Notes:
  • Wix has licenses for the fonts in the editor. They are only available for digital use within your Wix site. For more information, you can view the Wix Terms of Use. 
  • You cannot download fonts provided in the editor, but you may find the open source versions and install them to your computer. 

Adding language fonts

Get started by adding a language to your site through the Text Settings panel. There are a range of options available, so you can apply fonts that suit the language text and characters.

To add a language to your site:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click any text element in your editor.
  3. Click Edit Text.
  4. Click the Fonts drop-down.
  5. Click Add Languages at the bottom.
  6. Select the checkbox next to the relevant language(s).
  7. Click Save.
What's next?
The compatible fonts for the language you added are available in every font menu in the editor.
The Add Languages panel in the Editor. Japanese and Arabic have been selected, & the cursor is hovering over the Save button.
Can't find the language you want?
You can upload your own fonts to suit whatever language you need. Make sure the font file is smaller than 4MB, so it does not affect your site's performance and speed.

Applying compatible fonts

After adding a language to your font list, you can select a font that's compatible with the language. Choosing compatible fonts for your language ensures that its special characters are displayed properly. 

To choose and apply a language-compatible font:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click the relevant text element in your editor.
  3. Click Edit Text.
  4. Click the Fonts drop-down.
  5. Browse the list under the relevant language to preview our compatible fonts.
  6. Click your chosen font to apply it to your text.
The Fonts menu in the Text Settings panel in the Editor. The cursor is hovering over the option to add Arial for Arabic.

Using accented characters

You may want to use accented characters in your text, particularly if you have other languages on your site.
