Curious, am I missing something, the self hosting font options doesn’t seem to be an option, like in the documentation?

What I see…

What the [docs](https://pinegrow.com/docs/wordpress/pinegrow-wordpress-plugin/using-custom-fonts/) show

Thanks in advance for any direction here. Whats the best method for using non-google web fonts.

I ended up using the local web font option.

This video tutorial also shows how you can do this. It has the “Local web font…” option. It is for the desktop version of Pinegrow, whereas the tutorial you were looking at is for the WP plugin version of Pinegrow. This method works for non-google fonts as well. You need to covert them to .woff2 format. Various online sites will do this for you and generate the css code.

🤦‍♂️

🤣 Oh man, I totally missed, that page was for the WP plugin. Thanks @Cary

Yeah, I am using .woff2 fonts. I am just still navigating PG in many ways.

You can read something about this topic here, but it’s in German: [Pinegrow Forest | Texte: Über Schriftarten, Textstile & mehr](https://pinegrow-forest.com/de/funktionen/text#Eigene_Schriftart)
