In earlier versions, you had to apply new fonts by either recycling your application pool or calling the **UpdateLocalFonts** method. The first option is to restart the ASP.NET application where Customer's Canvas is hosted to get the new fonts available in the font list. The second one is to use the FontPreview API to reload font info at runtime. Customer's Canvas provides a Web API to update local fonts' info. This API works based on HTTPS requests and is handled by the FontPreview controller (`~/api/FontPreview`). It has the following functionality: | Function | Request type | URL | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Update local fonts' info | POST | `~/api/FontPreview/UpdateLocalFonts` | Notifies the application about updating local fonts. | **Important** The snippet below defines the [API security key](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc5/webapi.htm.md) in JavaScript code. It could be highly insecure if it runs on a public site. However, you can use it this way in your admin panel, or just for demonstration purposes. ## The Sample The following snippet displays a form that updates local fonts' info. Replace `example.com` in **baseURL** with the domain name of your site. ```html ``` ## See Also ### Manual - [Custom Fonts](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc5/custom-fonts.htm.md) - [Web API](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc5/webapi.htm.md)
