ADMIN Please Can We Have A List of soon-to-be RETIRED FONTS - Damage Control

@Scott  

It is critical we do not continue to create new products using what will soon be retired and redundant fonts.

It will be impossible for many of us to edit existing products if the retired fonts should disrupt the design aesthetic (bearing in mind paired fonts and some 20,000 products to edit - not doable) and as such a list of fonts Zazzle intends to retire shortly as well as a date for implementation (so we can look over our existing designs) would be very helpful re damage control.

Many thanks for considering this request.

Hi, please can we get some feedback re the retired font issue?

I note a couple that are no longer in the font list (Blooming Elegant) but still appearing on designs. I have switched a couple of them with alternatives and non of the similar replacements fitted the field allocated and basically ruined the design. With over 40,000 products and over 20,000 invites, I can’t edit any issues and I’m sure others have similar concerns.

We also won’t be able to see the issues given the volume of products we have so won’t detect ‘all’ issues to report specific problems :disappointed_face: 

Is it possible to leave the retired fonts in place re the existing design to avoid the considerable issues ‘automated replacement’ may cause?

Thank you

UPDATE

I am pleased to say my fears are largely unfounded based on what I have so far observed re the automated changes. Overall, it’s been a very impressive transition! Thank You Zazzle !

Not all perfect … but so far … impressive.
