1# @ohos.font (Custom Font Registration)
2
3The **font** module provides APIs for registering custom fonts.
4
5> **NOTE**
6>
7> 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.
8>
9> 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).
10>
11> 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.
12

110```
111> **NOTE**
112>
113> To use custom fonts globally in an application, register the fonts through the [windowStage.loadContent](js-apis-window.md#loadcontent9) API in the [onWindowStageCreate](../apis-ability-kit/js-apis-app-ability-uiAbility.md#uiabilityonwindowstagecreate) lifecycle callback in the **EntryAbility.ets** file.
114>
115> In HSP projects, avoid using relative paths to register custom fonts. For details, see [Accessing Resources in an HSP Through $r](../../quick-start/in-app-hsp.md).
