I am trying to add a new Google Font via Font Manager. The font is fairly new, already available on https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Epunda+Slab

This font is not being detected.

Hi @Daz,

thank you for noticing this and letting us know. I can confirm that it’s missing, so as a workaround, you will have to add it manually.
I’ve also created an internal task for us, to fix this.

Thank you,
Matej

thanks very much for looking into it.

I also noticed that when I added “manually” the woff2 font via Font Manager, I thought I had setup all necessary weights (400-600) but after saving and checking only the last one was visible.

strange. did that on 2 different websites and the result was the same. When added the same font via Custom Fonts page it all worked as normal.

Hi @Daz,

if I see correctly, this is a variable font, right? If that’s the case, it might be one of the issues we have (WIP: Font Manager: font preview changes randomly when adding additional font variations).

Also, as it’s variable font, you can just add one version, and use font-variation-settings control.

Best regards,
Matej
