How can I type Vietnamese language into Webflow CMS blog posts with the correct fonts?
TL;DR
- Use a Unicode Vietnamese input method (e.g., Telex or VNI) to enter text into Webflow CMS.
- Choose a Vietnamese-compatible font like Roboto or Inter in Typography settings to ensure correct rendering of characters and diacritics.
You can type in Vietnamese language into Webflow CMS blog posts by entering Unicode Vietnamese text and using a font that supports Vietnamese characters. Here's how to do it:
1. Use Unicode-Compatible Vietnamese Input
- Use your computer's Vietnamese keyboard or input method to type Unicode text (e.g., Telex or VNI).
- Webflow fully supports Unicode, so Vietnamese characters like â, ê, ô, ư, đ, ơ will be properly saved and rendered in both the CMS and on published pages.
2. Choose a Font That Supports Vietnamese Characters
- Not all fonts include the full set of Vietnamese diacritics. You must select a font with extended Latin support.
- Recommended fonts that support Vietnamese:
- Google Fonts like Roboto, Inter, Open Sans, Lato, Merriweather, Nunito, Source Sans Pro
- These fonts contain the full range of Vietnamese characters and can be added directly in Webflow Project Settings > Fonts or via Typography settings in the Designer.
3. Apply the Correct Font in Webflow
- In the Designer, select the text element or global class (e.g.,
Rich Text,Paragraph, etc.). - Under Typography, choose your Vietnamese-compatible font.
- The correct diacritics will render automatically once the font supports them.
4. Optional: Embed a Custom Font with Vietnamese Support
- If you want a custom typeface, upload the font files (WOFF recommended) via Project Settings > Fonts.
- Make sure the custom font has Vietnamese character support. You can verify this on sites like Google Fonts or Font Squirrel.
5. Preview and Publish
- Always Preview your page in Webflow to ensure everything appears correctly.
- After publishing, confirm that Vietnamese characters render properly on all devices.
Summary
To type Vietnamese in Webflow CMS blog posts, use Unicode Vietnamese input and apply a font that includes Vietnamese character support (like Roboto or Inter). Set the font in the Designer's Typography settings to ensure proper display of diacritics.
