Custom Ticket Template Fonts

Custom Ticket Template Fonts

The Custom Ticket Template Fonts add-on lets you use your own fonts within Tickera’s ticket template builder, giving your tickets a unique and fully branded look. Whether you’re aiming for something elegant, bold, or playful, this add-on makes it easy to upload and apply any font you want.

Setting up the add-on

Once you install and activate the Custom Ticket Template Fonts add-on, a new tab labeled Custom Ticket Fonts will appear in your Tickera Settings area.
When you open it, you’ll see a simple, straightforward interface that allows you to add and manage your fonts.

Here’s how to add your custom font:

1. Font Name - Enter a name for the font you’re adding. This is how it will appear later in the ticket template font dropdown.
2. Upload Font File - Click the Browse or Upload button to select a font file from your computer. The font must be in .ttf (TrueType Font) format.
3. Add New Font - Once uploaded, click Add New to register your font.
4. After that, your font will appear in the table below. If you’re just starting out, it’s completely normal for this table to be blank.

Using your custom font in a ticket template

Now that your font is uploaded, head over to the Ticket Templates section of Tickera.
When the page loads, open or create a new ticket template, and in the Font dropdown menu, you’ll find your newly added custom font ready to use.

Once selected, all text-based elements in your ticket template can use your custom font, giving your tickets a distinct visual identity that matches your brand or event style.

Finding free and safe fonts

If you don’t already have a font in mind, there are many reputable websites where you can safely download free .ttf fonts suitable for use with Tickera. A few well-known sources include:

• Google Fonts
  A massive collection of free, open-source fonts, ideal for consistent branding across web and print.
• Font Squirrel
  Offers free fonts that are specifically licensed for commercial use.
• DaFont
  A wide range of creative and decorative fonts, but always check the license for commercial use before applying them to your event materials.

When choosing a font, aim for readability and clarity, especially if your ticket design includes small print or detailed information.

Troubleshooting and important notes

• Make sure the folder tickera/tcpdf/fonts on your server is writable. If this folder doesn’t have write permissions, you might encounter errors when trying to upload new fonts.
• Not all fonts are created equal — some may not display properly when converted to PDF. If your font doesn’t render correctly, try using another variation or a different typeface altogether.
• For best performance, keep your font files lightweight (under 1 MB if possible).
