Yes, there is a way to allow users to select a font type for a specific section of a website using Webflow. Webflow provides a feature called "Font Style Manager" that allows you to create custom font sets and give users the option to choose from those font sets.

Here's how you can implement this:

  1. Add the desired font styles to your project's Font Manager:
  • In the Webflow Designer, go to the Project Settings.
  • Under the Fonts tab, click on "Add Fonts" and browse the Google Fonts or upload custom fonts.
  • Select the font styles you want to use and click on "Add to Project".
  1. Create a Font Style Manager:
  • In the Webflow Designer, select the element (e.g., a section) where you want to allow font selection.
  • Go to the Styles panel and click on the "+" icon next to the font family property.
  • In the Font Manager, click on "Create a New Font Style" and give it a name.
  • Select the font styles you want to include in this font set.
  • Click on "Create Font Style".
  1. Bind the font style to a dropdown:
  • With the element still selected, go to the Interactions panel.
  • Click on the "+" icon next to "On Page Load" to create a new interaction.
  • Choose the option "Set Font Family" and select the font style you created.
  • Set the target element to the desired section or paragraph that should have the font style applied.
  • Save the interaction.
  1. Create the font selection dropdown:
  • Add a dropdown element to your website, where users can choose the font style.
  • In the Webflow Designer, select the dropdown element and go to the Settings panel.
  • Under the Options section, click on "Add option" for each font style you want to include.
  • Give each option a name that is easy to understand for users.
  • In the Interactions panel, bind the dropdown to the font style:
    • Click on the "+" icon next to "On Change" to create a new interaction.
    • Choose the option "Set Font Family" and select the font style based on the dropdown's value.
    • Set the target element to the desired section or paragraph that should have the font style applied.
  • Save and publish your site.

Now, when a user selects a font style from the dropdown, the associated section or paragraph will apply that font style. This gives users the flexibility to choose their preferred font for a specific section of the website.
