Prior to the removal of the Source button, I was able to edit my font selection. When you select the font Georgia from the drop-down list, then look at the code it pulls in not only Georgia but several others. Previously, I would edit out the other fonts, and all recipients would see the Georgia font. Now when I select Georgia, what users see varies from email type to email. For instance, Yahoo Mail gets a blocky plain font I don’t even recognize on mobile, desktop and iPad. Gmail is the only mail service that I’m sure sees Georgia, but only about half of our email list goes to customers using Gmail. I tried coding the text in HTML, and it worked beautifully, except it clipped. What do I do now to get the recipients to see Georgia and not some random ugly font and not get clipped? Thank you.
Font Issues since the Source button disappeared

Raw HTML editing now lives in a dedicated HTML block instead of inside the text block, and personalization tags moved into their own tag builder. The Georgia rendering issue is separate and unrelated to that change. Yahoo doesn't reliably support the same font stack Gmail does,, so when Georgia isn't available it falls back to whatever default the client picks, which is the blocky font you're seeing. The clipping you hit when hardcoding HTML directly is almost certainly extra code weight from pasted styles,, not the font itself.
Add an HTML block and define an explicit font stack so every client has a clear fallback instead of guessing, something like font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; on your text elements. This keeps Georgia as the first choice everywhere it's supported,, gives Yahoo a sensible serif fallback instead of a generic one, and keeps the markup lean since you're not relying on Klaviyo's font dropdown,, which tends to add multiple font declarations behind the scenes.
I hope this helps and thank you for sharing your question here in the community.
