To solve the issue of not being able to use a legally downloaded custom font in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check the Font Format: Make sure that the font file you have downloaded is in a compatible format. Webflow supports TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) font formats. If the font file is in a different format, you may need to convert it using a font converter tool.
Upload the Custom Font: In Webflow, go to the Project Settings (gear icon) and then select the Fonts tab. Click on the "Upload Fonts" button and select the font file from your computer. Webflow will automatically generate the necessary font files for different browser support.
Assign the Custom Font: Once the font is uploaded, you can assign it to various elements on your website. To do this, select the element you want to apply the custom font to (such as headings, paragraphs, etc.), and in the Typography settings panel, select the custom font from the font dropdown menu.
Preview and Publish: After assigning the custom font to the desired elements, you can preview your website to ensure that the font is appearing correctly. You can also use the Webflow Designer's live preview mode to test different device sizes and responsive layouts. Once you are satisfied with the appearance, publish your website for the changes to take effect.
Check Licensing and Permissions: Ensure that you have the legal right to use the custom font on your website. Some fonts may have licensing restrictions for web usage, so make sure to review the terms and conditions provided with the font file or on the font designer's website. Violating font licensing can result in legal consequences.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of not being able to use your legally downloaded custom font in Webflow.
