Two Different Language Fonts in Header

Recommended Posts

Hello, I had a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with. 

I am creating a website where I would like both Japanese text and English text in the header of a page. The English text uses the site-wide font for the header, but when I type Japanese characters they are displayed in a default font that I can't seem to change. The majority of the website will be in English, but there are sections where I would like to use Japanese that is not the default font. 

I've tried looking for a few different solutions, but it seems like most of them would require some CSS knowledge and some custom coding on the specific page which I do not have a lot of. I looked on the forum as well but I couldn't find a specific answer to this question (using two different fonts in the same heading, only changing one of the fonts)

Would anyone know how to change the Japanese font style? I haven't decided which font would work in Japanese, but probably something like "Noto Serif Japanese". I have attached a screenshot with the sections where I am having trouble changing the font highlighted in red. 

I would share the link to the webpage as that seems to be helpful for diagnosing the issue but my webpage isn't public yet and is literally a default page where I've only tried tweaking the heading. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been experiencing the same issue and consulted the SQS Help team.  Unfortunately, Japanese is not a supported language, and the only solution is to use custom code (which I have no knowledge of).

The good news is that Japanese is now a supported language on the latest version of Squarespace (version 7.1) 🙂.

There's also a Japanese template store, Japanese font packs and support for Japanese yen (JPY)!
