Technical information relating to custom font uploads, including file types and review recommendations.

Learn how to Upload Custom Fonts.

Recommended Font File Types

There are two primary font file types - OTF (Open Type Font) and TTF (True Type Font).

TTF files are recommended for use within the MustHaveMenus software, as they generally render more consistently than other font file types.

There are several free online tools that can convert OTF files to TTF format, which can be found with a quick search.

Uploaded Font Confirmation

After uploading a custom font for use, MustHaveMenus recommends performing a confirmation check on the font rendering.
