Can I use CSS features like text shadows and rotation with web fonts?
Absolutely. Any CSS feature that can be applied to text on the web works well with all kinds of fonts – web fonts, local fonts, and system fonts.
The exception to this is the CSS outline effect, which does not work well with variable fonts due to contour overlaps.
Can I modify the appearance of text made with a font in a design tool for commercial use? For example, may I change the slope, thickness, and space between letters?
Yes, text in bitmap images or vector graphics made with fonts from Google Fonts can be modified, because the result isn't another font, but an image of text.
You can also modify fonts themselves with font editor tools, subject to the license conditions.
What are variable fonts?
Variable fonts are a recent evolution in typography. This format lets you customize a typeface in the ways provided by the typeface designer. All styles are stored in just one or two font files instead of separate files for every style. Learn more from Google Fonts Knowledge and Web Fundamentals.

Will Material Icons continue to receive updates?
Material Icons has been replaced with Material Symbols and will no longer receive updates. Any future development or additions will come to Material Symbols. We suggest using Material Symbols and migrating away from Material Icons.
Why does my icon not render properly?
When using the icon font, the ligature text may be shown. This can occur for various reasons.
- Wrong icon set: ensure the loaded font is the same that was used to find the icon. Material Symbols has more icons and renames some of the older Material Icons fonts. The filters tab shows the current icon set.
- Outdated font: ensure the loaded font is the latest available version. Using the web API prevents this issue. If the font was downloaded, try downloading the font again. Android's Jetpack Compose doesn't yet support Material Symbols.
- CSS conflicts: ensure there are no CSS rules overriding the settings or disabling ligatures (e.g.
font-variant-ligatures: none;). - Subsetting: ensure the broken icon is present in the
&icon_names=parameter of the API request. - Flash of unstyled content: ensure the API request specifies
&display=blockto avoid showing ligatures while the icon font is loading.
