 * How to add a system font?
    I don’t want to upload to the website since Asian 
   fonts are huge.

 * Hi [@ashf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashf/)
 * You can only upload those font which are web compatible. I am sure you can upload
   any of the custom font with the help of this plugin.
 * Let me know if you are facing any issue while adding your custom font.

 * I don’t want to upload a font but want to add a “system font” which is like Arial
   or Times.
    It’s necessary for some languages such as Japanese and Chinese since
   even single font is like 50-200MB. Using a system font is proper way to optimize
   the site.

 * There is no other way you can use system font without upload. You need to add
   the font using this plugin.
