HTML font support for default email signature.

Hi there,

I have tried several avenues to get this done right. However, Salesforce is not rendering the correct font type for the default signature on the Salesforce emails. I do not see any document where it says that certain fonts on HTML are not supported. Please provide if there is any. 
 
<style>
body {
  background-color: White;
  text-align: Left;
  color: Black;
  font-family: Century Gothic;

}
</style>
</head>

Hi Fincher,

Use this HTML instead. If you have a link, make sure to not nest a span tag inside of the <a> tag, because that will mess with your styling of the link itself.

Then You can raise a case with the Salesforce support team so that they can check the background of it and let you know.

Hi Fincher,

I'm an email developer and can explain why you're not seeing the font render as Century Gothic. Is the image you have shown by chance from an Outlook rendering of the email signature? Unfortunately, Century Gothic is not a universally supported web font. There's a difference between web fonts and web safe fonts. Fonts such as Arial and Verdana are "web safe" meaning they're default built into systems/devices and are considered universal fonts. Pretty much any device or email client will show those as intended. Century Gothic is going to be considered a web safe font, which means it won't be displayed consistenly across devices/email clients. You can purchase the Century Gothic font and import it into your email. However, Outlook desktop app on a Windows computer, as well as Gmail, do not support web safe fonts, even if they're imported. So you'll see their default fonts (Times New Roman for Outlook, Trebuchet MS for Gmail) displayed, as opposed to the imported font. I'd recommend using an universal font, Arial being my favorite.

Thanks.

Hi
e_lin, 

Thanks for the message. Yes I am now able to convince the users to go by the universal fonts. However, there is another problem I am getting into and that is under the company's website there is this blue line I wish to get rid of. However, if I use CSS stylesheets with HTML code it is going to make the file size big. I want to keep is low in lightning letterhead. Do somebody know how to get rid of blue like such as this:

Code I am using this this:

<span style="font-size:10px"><span style="color:black"><span style="line-height:.7;font-family:&quot;Source Sans Pro&quot;,sans-serif"> It&rsquo;s all there!</span></span></span>

thanks a lot! by the way, do you know what is the default font salesforce uses for the auto signature?

Glad it worked! I believe the Salesforce default font is Arial.
