Only Company Admins can import fonts and font collections to their Monotype Fonts account. They are responsible for access sharing and license management. Other users can use the Request access button to request access from admins. Importing fonts allows creatives to use the Monotype Desktop App to design with brand new fonts, as well as previously used fonts.

You can manage your imported web fonts alongside your imported desktop fonts on the "Imported Fonts" page, where they are grouped by family. The icons displayed next to each family name indicate whether that family contains only desktop fonts, only web fonts, or both.

As a Company Admin, you can start importing fonts into Monotype Fonts by clicking on Manage in the header. This will take you to the font management and administration section of Monotype Fonts. Click on the Imported Fonts tab on the right-hand side.

Then, click on the Import fonts button. This will open the "Font Importer" in a new tab.

To upload fonts, simply drag and drop your font files into the import area. You can also click inside the import area to launch the file browser on your system to locate font files to import.

You can upload up to 2,000 font files at once. If you need assistance with importing a much larger collection, please contact our support team.

If you have a license to use a font on the web but you only have a .tff or .otf file available, you can convert it to a .woff or .woff2 file using one of the many converters available online and then import these into your Monotype Fonts account.

3. From the share access dialog, you can grant access to multiple users and teams at once. You can also look for users and teams by name using the search bar at the top.

5. Once done, click the Update button to provide access to the selected user base.

You can also grant access to individual fonts by expanding a family row, clicking on the number field in a font row under the Access column, and following the steps outlined above.

1. Similar to the steps outlined above, in the Access column, start by clicking on the number field in a font or family row to bring up the share access dialog.

2. Users and teams with access to the font or family are denoted by a checkmark next to their names.

4. Once done, click the Update button.

You can also upload supporting documents pertinent to individual fonts by expanding a family row, clicking on the + button in a font row, and following the steps outlined above.

You may upload up to five supporting documents per family. You may also upload up to five documents per font. Document uploads are limited to a maximum file size of 20 MB per document, and accepted file formats are PDF (.pdf), TXT (.txt), ODT (.odt), JPG/JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), PNG (.png), TIFF (.tiff), XLS/XLSX (.xls/.xlsx) and XML (.xml).

You can add imported web fonts to web projects and digital ads.

Users must be given the right access to imported web fonts before they can add these fonts to a web project or a digital ad. Users without access will be shown a "permission required" alert when they attempt to add an imported web font to a web project, with the option to request access.

Once an imported web font is added to a web project or a digital ad, it can be subsetted according to your needs and then used on your website along with other web fonts from Monotype using an embed code or via a self-hosting kit.

The Font Importer automatically tags fonts by style and language and groups them by family, so they’re well organized and ready for use in your "Imported Fonts" dashboard.

You may also choose to add private tags to your fonts from the font uploader screen, once importing finishes. To do this, click on the Add tags button in the top-right corner.

This will change the uploaded fonts view to show a Bulk add tags button in addition to showing + icon buttons next to each uploaded font.

As the name suggests, clicking on the Bulk add tags button allows you to add tags to all uploaded font files, all at once.

Clicking on the + icon buttons next to each individual font will allow you to add tags specific to these individual font files. You can add private tags specific to individual fonts in addition to bulk tags.
