    Hi:
    Trying out Blockbase – I want a solid starter theme that lets me do the styling. I loved Underscores when I was doing Classic themes and want an FSE version.

    Can you tell me what fonts come loaded with Blockbase? I just started working with it and it has a long list of fonts, each with 1 variant. Can I de-select them? Are some required?

    I want to use Source Sans 3 as the default font for the site I’m building. I loaded it through the styles > typography > Install fonts and it’s there, but how can I tell if it’s the default theme font?

    Thanks!

    Al l the fonts that COME with the theme have 1 variant. I want the option to use 400, 500, 600 and 700 weights for fonts that have them. Am I supposed to add those variants from Google? Are the variants already a part of the fonts? Do you automatically apply the weight to the fonts without me needing to load additional variants? ?????

    Hi @vytaulla51 !

    Please do note that themes on WordPress.org are supported by a community of volunteers.

    The Font Library is a feature of WordPress since version 6.5, and you should be able to get answers on adding new fonts or font variants by reviewing this article:
    https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2024/04/01/how-to-register-custom-font-collections-for-the-font-library/

    You could create a local test site and install the theme afresh there, to see which are the default fonts.
    The screenshot linked here shows you the ones that are the defaults in version 3.1.19 of the theme: https://d.pr/i/XCfyMM

    To test the default variants, you could open a test page, create a block of text, then test all the different fonts on that text, using the block’s setting for ‘Font’ and ‘Appearance’ in the ‘Typography’ settings.

    A font variant is a specific combination of style (italic or normal, for example) and weight (the thickness of the characters, for example).

    Hope that helps, however, please do try to ask your questions only in their related forums. Asking in other forums won’t get answers faster.
