How would we go about uploading and using a custom font? I wanted to add lato per: > **[The Fonts - Lato](http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/)** > > Lato is a sanserif type­face fam­ily designed in the Sum­mer 2010 by Warsaw-​​based designer Łukasz Dziedzic (“Lato” means “Sum­mer” in Pol­ish). In Decem­ber 2010 the Lato fam­ily was pub­lished under the open-​​source Open Font License by his... however it looks like I am in a CORS nightmare cause I would have to upload it to my own domain and give it CORS to rocket chat. ---

Yeah right now you’d have to host externally somewhere and bring in via css override in layout. ☹ ---

Sounds like a nice idea! 🙂 I think the proper way to go here would be to enable the Admin to upload those to [https://your.rocket.chat/admin/Assets](https://your.rocket.chat/admin/Assets). Then, one could reference it via /assets in the CSS-Layouts. It would - in general - be nice, to be able to upload generic custom resources there, to reference them in CSS overrides and whatnot… Cheers Thomas
