Installation Guide

How to Install the Font

After downloading, install the font on your system so it's available in all applications.

Download the TTF file

Click "Download TTF" above and save Yapiri.ttf to your Downloads folder.

2
Open the font file

Double-click Yapiri.ttf to open the Windows Font Preview window.

3
Click Install

Click the Install button at the top of the preview window. The font installs system-wide immediately.

4
Select in your application

Open Word, Notepad, or any app. Select   (Yapiri Regular) from the font dropdown. PUA characters U+E000–U+E02F will now render correctly.

1

Click "Download TTF" above and save Yapiri.ttf to your Downloads folder.

2
Open with Font Book

Double-click Yapiri.ttf. macOS will open it in Font Book automatically.

3

Click Install Font in the Font Book preview. The font is now available system-wide.

4
Use in any application

Select Yapiri from the font menu in Pages, Keynote, Illustrator, or any application that supports custom fonts.

1
Download the TTF file

Download Yapiri.ttf from the button above.

2
Copy to fonts directory

Run: mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts && cp Yapiri.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts/

3
Refresh font cache

Run: fc-cache -fv to update the system font cache.

4
Verify installation

Run: fc-list | grep Yapiri — if it returns a result, the font is installed correctly.

1
Upload font files to your server

Place Yapiri.woff2 and Yapiri.ttf in your project's fonts or assets folder.

2
Add @font-face to your CSS

@font-face { font-family: 'Yapiri'; src: url('Yapiri.woff2') format('woff2'), url('Yapiri.ttf') format('truetype'); font-display: swap; }

3
Apply the font

Use font-family: 'Yapiri', serif; on any element containing PUA characters U+E000–U+E02F.

4
Use WOFF2 for web

WOFF2 is smaller and faster than TTF for web use. Always list it first in the src declaration so modern browsers pick it up.
