Text doesn't display properly


My text doesn't display properly on my design

What can cause this

When [x] or shows up on text that’s added to your design, it means the font you use in your design is not supported by your language setting in Canva.

What to do

  1. Open the design where the text display error is.
  2. Select the text box where text is not displaying correctly (may contain "☒" or "▯").
  3. From the toolbar, select the font dropdown.
  4. Select See all.
  5. Scroll down to find the Fonts in your language section. It shows below the Recently used, Brand fonts, and Popular fonts sections.
  6. Select a font to apply it to the selected text box.

If your uploaded fonts aren’t displaying correctly, head over to Font upload error to learn how to fix it.
