Creating a watchface and am trying to add font Resources. 1. Tried multiple fonts (Nunito from Google Fonts, Font Squirrel, [Bunny.net](http://Bunny.net)) 2. Tried multiple browsers (Chrome and Edge) 3. No preview appears after upload — just blank white bar 4. Build fails with “Unsupported font format” 5. Compatibility set to both “Latest” and “2.7” — same result Advice? Thanks. Edit: I fixed it by adding [] around the specified Characters, so user error. Edit2: This fix only solved the blank Preview issue. I can’t get a Build to work with a font Resource, even if the script build works fine if there’s no Resource, and I’m not using the Resource in the script. So far no dice on using add-on fonts. Edit3: Got the custom font working on the local native SDK, so appears to be an issue with CloudPebble. ---

Is this on CloudPebble or using local SDK?If it’s on CloudPebble, can you share some screenshots of the problem? ---

On CloudPebble. Screenshots of the Add Resource screens. You can see Preview is blank. ![Font3_2026-03-03 165826](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex033/uploads/pebble1/original/1X/500adf2328901e6cf117e14f60fffa232c08e57c.png) (new poster so can only add 1 media file at a time) ---

I saw your fix above, nice. Should we change the UI to make that more clear? What would you recommend? ---

Actually my “fix” only solved the Preview being blank. I’ve had zero luck getting a Build to work if I simply create a Resource with a font. Jumped through MANY hoops trying to get this to work and no dice. I’ve used 2 different AI (Claude and Gemini) for hours, and so far a dead end. To clarify I have a script that works fine with built-in system fonts. But if I add a font Resource that script aborts on the Build without using the custom font. Any advice? ---

have you tested your code with the native sdk? [Installing the Pebble SDK // Pebble Developers](https://developer.repebble.com/sdk/) Does it work there? ---

No, I haven’t used a native SDK. Is there a good chance it would be different than CloudPebble? ---

I got it working on the native SDK. The desired custom font did load, and is working in the emulator. So all good for now. ---

@jimbo I think I just fixed the issue on CloudPebble. Do you mind trying again? ---

Hey, just saw this reply. Yes, I can report that I got CloudPebble working just fine with a custom font. Good work. I do find the Resource setup page a bit confusing, but did figure out how to add multiple font sizes, Build and Emulator worked as expected. Thanks.
