 * Hey,
 * I was hoping to use a custom font instead of the ones which are available in 
   your plugin.
 * I was trying to add it in custom CSS with [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   and setting the H1 tag to the new font in the email designer but my changes seem
   to not be taking effect.
 * Am I missing something here?

 * Hello,
 * What is the process you’re using for adding the font, and where are you adding
   the CSS?
 * It’s possible that you’re doing everything correctly to add the font, but some
   email clients will not render the CSS.

 * Here is a css example that you can add in the custom css box:
 *     ```
       @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=IM+Fell+English');
       #template_header h1 {
       font-family: 'IM Fell English', serif !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * But must be said clearly this will not work in most email clients. Especially
   mobile apps.

   Thanks for the info. What causes this not to work in such email clients?
 * Is there anything I can do to ensure this will work?
 * I was using the WooCommerce > Email Customiser > Custom Styles > Custom CSS box.

 * This is not within our control, as it’s how the email clients are designed. I
   can’t say for sure why they are this way, but Ben may be able to shed more light
   on this.
 * That is the correct area for adding the CSS.

 * No, email clients are not set to a standard and they choose what and how they
   want to work, Many simply choose to not support custom fonts for various reasons.
