Some languages require specific fonts to be included in the template so that their characters display correctly. This guide shows how to add support for Japanese to a template by using the font named M PLUS 1.

Note: This guide assumes you are using the template designs provided within the Order Printer Pro app.

Add a Japanese font to your templates

1- Open Order Printer Pro (Shopify admin > Apps)2- Go to the "Manage templates" page
​3- Click the "Edit template" button on the template you would like to update
​4- In the code section, scroll down in the code until you see the CSS styling towards the bottom(<style>).

5- Add the following code, just below the <style> line.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=M+PLUS+1p:wght@400;700&display=swap');

6- Update the font-family CSS rule found just a few lines lower, to use the new font.

To do this, change the text:


​'Open Sans'

To be:

'M PLUS 1p'

Make sure the quotation marks are included. See the example below after making this change:

7- Click "Save" and you are done.

Now your template will load the needed font for displaying Japanese characters correctly.
