Fonts

Bundled fonts

typstgen embeds Typst’s fallback fonts from typst-assets 0.15 into every build, including Wasm. A document that only uses these renders the same on any machine, with nothing installed.

Family	Files	Typst default for
Libertinus Serif	Regular, Italic, Semibold, Semibold Italic, Bold, Bold Italic	Body text
New Computer Modern	Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic	–
New Computer Modern Math	Regular, Book, Bold	Math
DejaVu Sans Mono	Regular, Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique	Raw text and code

That is 17 font files. The fonts example sets each family and was compiled with system fonts turned off.

System fonts

On native builds, use_system_fonts (default true) adds every font installed on the machine. This is convenient for local work, but the PDF then depends on which fonts that machine has.

Project fonts

font_paths adds fonts that ship with your project. Each entry may be a directory or a single font file:

template_paths = ["templates"]
font_paths = ["fonts", "brand/Inter-Variable.ttf"]
use_system_fonts = false

Relative paths are resolved against the working directory. Entries that don’t exist are skipped without an error.

Reproducible PDFs

For output that doesn’t change between machines, commit the fonts you use, list them in font_paths and set use_system_fonts = false. The showcase fixtures are built this way: regenerating them without changes produces byte-identical PDFs.

Wasm

The Wasm build has no filesystem: it uses the bundled fonts only, and font_paths and use_system_fonts do not apply.
