  • We're using an experimental new feature in Chrome (Local Font Access) to support the ability to pick fonts for the Text object from a full list of all locally available fonts.

    Where it's supported

    To use the experiment you will need to use:

    • Google Chrome 88+
    • Construct 3 r225+
      • In stable releases, tick Enable experimental features in Settings
      • In beta releases, it's enabled by default

    How it works

    When the feature is supported, the font picker dialog for the Text object will prompt for permission to access local fonts. If you approve the prompt, then the list of local fonts is filled with a comprehensive list of all available fonts installed on your system. Without this feature Construct guesses a list of fonts, which is usually incomplete.

  • It looks like the Chrome origin trial for this experimental feature expired, and they haven't started a new one yet. This is why we warn that experimental features can change at any time!
