To ensure that the uploaded font is displaying correctly on all devices in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose a font format: Start by selecting the appropriate font format for your web project. The most common font formats for the web include TrueType fonts (TTF), OpenType fonts (OTF), Web Open Font Format (WOFF), and Web Open Font Format 2 (WOFF2).

  2. Prepare your font files: Once you have chosen the font format, you need to prepare your font files. Each font format may require different file types, so make sure to follow the guidelines provided by Webflow. Typically, you will need to convert your font files to the required format.

  3. Upload your font files: In the Webflow Designer, go to the top-right corner and click on the "Manage Fonts" button. From there, you can upload your font files by dragging and dropping them into the designated area or by selecting them manually. Webflow will automatically generate a unique URL for each font file.

  4. Assign the font to elements: After uploading your font files, you can assign the font to specific elements on your website. In the Webflow Designer, select the element you want to apply the font to, and in the "Typography" section of the Style panel, choose the uploaded font from the font dropdown menu.

  5. Preview and test: Once you have assigned the font to your desired elements, it's important to preview and test your website on different devices and browsers. This will allow you to ensure that the font is displaying correctly and that there are no unexpected issues.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the uploaded font is displaying correctly on all devices in Webflow. It's important to note that some older browsers may not support certain font formats, so it's recommended to use multiple font formats to provide fallback options for a better user experience.
