Hello, i just saw an email that stated we are getting new script fonts. This is very exciting and we have been waiting !
The email states that there will be retired fonts too. And if our design has retired fonts, they will be changed for us. It also states we will have access to edit those products.
Can we have access to edit all products to add the new font? I would like the option of changing more of my designs to include the new font and not just the new ones I am creating. thank you!
I didn’t get this email. Will we receive a list of retired fonts or a list of our products that changed when this takes place?
Definitely need a list of the retired fonts, please. I have some fonts permanently designed on the main graphic to match the editable text on the back, so I’m pretty nervous about it.
@Flobaby I also received that email this am & I’m pretty nervous about the retired fonts being switched out as well. I would love to know what they are so I can make my adjustments asap.
I’m SUPER excited about new fonts, but totally agree that we need a list of retired fonts so we can pro-actively check our products rather than just having to stumble upon things that need fixing.
ad verbatim from the email titled “Continual evolution of our font library” sent to a number of creators earlier this morning.

Hi,Creator,
We’re reaching out ahead of a broader community communication to let you know about some exciting news! You’ve asked for more fonts, and we’re thrilled to share that more fonts are on the way!
We’re committed to updating and significantly improving our font offering, coupled with ongoing improvements to the font functionality within the design tool. As part of this process, we will be adding many groups of fonts and removing a handful of select fonts that are no longer supported. But not to worry about the removal part; we have already anticipated and will be transitioning the designs for you automatically for as many designs as possible. And if the automagic doesn’t meet your needs, you will have product edit access to make any changes needed. (But we don’t think you’ll need to :))
Our first group of fonts is a much, much-requested group of 80 script fonts. We are excited and motivated by the creativity these new fonts will unleash, and we hope you will be too. But that’s not all. We have even more fonts coming your way throughout the year and will be upgrading the tool to make sure you can easily find and access these fonts.
We’re here to help and kindly request your patience as we update the tool. Mostly, we’re so excited to continue to see your creativity unleashed and what comes of these fonts once you have them in hand.
Thank you for being a Zazzle Creator!
The Zazzle Team

I like the idea of new fonts but am VERY nervous about existing fonts being changed indiscriminately across our products because editing them to ‘correct’ issues is not an option with some 20,000 items potentially to edit. So I hope the retired fonts are not ones I’ve used.
I didn’t get this email either?
Great news, but Jesus, 80+ new fonts and retired ones. I agree with others that a list of the retired ones would be helpful to have, and, please, add a favorites folder in the fonts list - I’m pretty sure, that, like me, 90% of the designers are only using a handful fonts of that whole library. Thank you!
P.S. Did I already mention you’ve done a great job recently, by consistently adding great improvements and new tools to your site?
Fonts play an important role in our designs. Please let us know what products of ours are affected so we can decide the best solution.
I didn’t get the email, but this is exciting! I hope they picked a good variety of script fonts, hopefully some with universal swashes, too!
I didn’t see the email either! I am with everyone saying that they’d like to see a list of the fonts being deleted. I choose my fonts carefully.
This is the first I’ve heard that Zazzle is going to retire fonts and “change them on our products to new ones.” You can’t just “change” our fonts to a new ones. Our text is placed meticulously where we want it, how we want it, and in the font we wanted - with great thought on our designs. I’ve locked many of my texts in earlier products I’ve created. Are we expected to go through each and every product we have with text on them and re-create them with NEW texts, delete the old ones, post the new ones. That means that the products I’ve sold many of would need to be deleted and start as new and “unseen.” Madness. Instead, can’t we please allow our products to stay as is and also ADD new fonts to the pool? It will take forever to go through all our products with text on them. 
Respectively, you’re creating a nightmare for us.
