Fonts

D2 uses 4 font families:

• Source Sans Pro for the majority of text, including labels, Markdown, etc.
• Source Code Pro for code blocks and text in Class shape.
• A blend of Architect's Daughter and Fuzzy Bubbles for sketch mode text.

Currently on the CLI, you can customize fonts by replacing Source Sans Pro with your own TTF files through the following flags:

• --font-regular
• --font-italic
• --font-bold

These should point to a .ttf file, for example:

It's advisable to supply either none or all of the fonts, for consistency. If you supply one but not all of the fonts, it will fall back to Source Sans Pro for the missing styles. For example, if you give a --font-regular and --font-bold, then the italic will remain as Source Sans Pro Italic.
