# local font not added

 * After converting a ttf to woff, I added the font, got the success message, but
   the new font does not appear in the manage fonts list. Same results every time.
   I tried disabling all other plugins. The new font is in the assets/fonts folder,
   and it’s listed in the theme.json file. But it appears nowhere, the new font 
   does not appear in the manage fonts, nor can I find it in the block theme list
   of available font families.
 * Using WordPress 6.2.1, running a Twenty Twenty-Three child theme, on a cPanel
   host.
 * Follow-up: I tried another font, just in case my conversion was bad. No success,
   the second font, an off-the-shelf woff this time, didn’t work either.

 * Hi [@lancehaverkamp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lancehaverkamp/), thanks
   for reporting this issue.
   If the font families are being added correctly to your`
   theme.json` file and the font assets are being added to the assets folder of 
   the theme, as you mentioned, I think you could have Global Styles overriding 
   the font families definition from the `theme.json` file. To get rid of those 
   definitions overriding font families you can try resetting Global Styles to default
   with the option featured in the screenshot below. Be careful with this because
   you will lose the global style changes you made, such as color palettes, etc.
   To avoid losing that you can run the “override” option of the plugin first to
   persist the changes you made to the theme in the theme files.After that try adding
   your local font again.Let me know if that works for you!

 * Clicking the overwrite user changes, as theme changes button solved the problem–
   though it, oddly, erased all the existing Twenty Twenty-Three type families (
   including what was currently being displayed). It probably shouldn’t do that,
   but it’s easy to add them back in.
