Font Style Variants
'Font Style Variants' are a way to specify the font family for different text types - Bold, Italic, and BoldItalic.
For example, a 'Subtitle Component' in ‘Style 1’ is currently using the ‘Roboto-Thin’ font. If content within this component is set to bold (from 'Article Editor'), rather than letting the browser apply a pseudo bold font style, it is possible to instruct the system to instead use the ‘Roboto-Bold’ font.
To Set Font Variants:
- Enter the 'Style Editor' of your chosen style.
- Select a
Text Component. - In the properties panel, specify the Bold, Italic and BoldItalic font variants you require.

The purpose of this functionality is to avoid faux browser styles which typically produce poor readability on some browsers. It’s strongly recommended that unless basic web safe fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc) are being used, a specific font is set for the ‘Bold’, ‘Italic’ and ‘BoldItalic’ font variant family fields.
