How Do I Use Pua Encoded Fonts on Canva?

Last updated on December 3, 2022 @ 9:52 pm

If you want to use a PUA encoded font on Canva, you first need to download the font from the internet. Once you have downloaded the font, you need to unzip it and open the folder. In the folder, you will find a file called “Read Me First.pdf.” You need to read this file first before proceeding.

After reading the file, you will find two files: one with a .ttf extension and one with a .otf extension. The file with the .ttf extension is the TrueType file and the file with the .otf extension is the OpenType file. You need to install both of these files on your computer.

Once you have installed the font files on your computer, you need to open Canva and create a new design. On the left-hand side of the screen, you will see a toolbar with various options. At the bottom of this toolbar, you will see an option called “Text.”

When you click on this option, a new window will pop up with various text options. In the top-right corner of this window, you will see a button that says “Add Text.” When you click on this button, a new window will pop up where you can enter your text.

In the “Font” drop-down menu, you will see all of the fonts that are installed on your computer. Scroll through this list until you find the PUA encoded font that you installed earlier.

When you find it, select it and then click on the “OK” button. Now that you have selected your font, it’s time to start styling your text!

You can style your text by using various HTML tags. The < p > tag is used for paragraphs, the < b > tag is used for bold text, and the < u > tag is used for underlined text. For example, if I wanted to make a paragraph that was bold and underlined, I would use the following code:

This is my paragraph.

You can also change the color of your text by using HTML color codes. For example, if I wanted to make my paragraph red, I would use this code:

This is my paragraph.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with using PUA encoded fonts, we recommend that you do not use them on Canva. These fonts can often cause problems when trying to edit or format text, and can also result in unexpected changes to your design.

If you want to learn more about HTML tags and how to use them, I recommend checking out some online tutorials or resources. Once you’ve mastered the basics of HTML, styling text in Canva will be a breeze!

Conclusion: You can use PUA encoded fonts on Canva by first downloading them from the internet and then installing them on your computer. Once they are installed, you can select them from the “Font” drop-down menu in Canva and start styling your text using various HTML tags.
