# @ohos.font (Custom Font Registration)

The **font** module provides APIs for registering custom fonts.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>
> The functionality of this module depends on UI context. This means that the APIs of this module cannot be used where the UI context is unclear. For details, see [UIContext](./js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#uicontext).
>
> Since API version 10, you can use the [getFont](./js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#getfont) API in [UIContext](./js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#uicontext) to obtain the [Font](./js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#font) object associated with the current UI context.
