Adobe AD0-E720 Exam - Topic 1 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E720 exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 1

An Adobe Commerce developer has been asked to implement a custom font specifically for emails. The Adobe Commerce developer has already added their font into the file system.

Keeping best practice in mind, which two files would need to be implemented to show the custom font in the email?

A/Vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_extend.less
Use the ^import font function with the url of the custom font from the theme.
/Vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_email.less file

BAdd in the styles to target the elements that require being changed.
/vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_typography.less

CAdd in a lib-font-face mixin with the custom font name into the newly created file.

DAdd the font-family into the <head></head> of the email within the email template.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

To implement a custom font specifically for emails, the developer needs to do the following steps:

Add the custom font file to the web/fonts directory of the custom theme.

Use the @import font function with the url of the custom font from the theme in the /Vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_extend.less file. This will import the custom font and make it available for use in other LESS files. For example:

@import font('custom-font', '@{baseDir}fonts/custom-font.ttf', 'truetype');

Add in the styles to target the elements that require being changed in the /Vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_email.less file. This file is used to define the styles for email templates. The developer can use the .lib-font-face() mixin to apply the custom font to specific selectors. For example:

.lib-font-face( @family-name: @custom-font, @font-path: '@{baseDir}fonts/custom-font', @font-weight: normal, @font-style: normal );

h1 { .lib-font-face( @family-name: @custom-font, @font-path: '@{baseDir}fonts/custom-font', @font-weight: normal, @font-style: normal ); }

The /vendor/Theme/web/css/source/_typography.less file is not suitable for implementing a custom font for emails, as it is used for defining global typography styles for web pages. The <head></head> tag is not used for adding fonts in email templates, as it is not supported by most email clients. Reference: [Custom fonts], [Email templates overview]

Wait, can we really use custom fonts in emails? That sounds tricky!

I agree, _typography.less is also important for styling!

Not sure about that, wouldn’t the email template need the font-family in the head?

Adding the font-family directly in the email template sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if that's the best practice for emails.

I feel like the lib-font-face mixin is important, but I can't recall if we need to create a new file for that.

I think we practiced a question where we had to add styles to specific elements, so maybe option B is relevant here?

I remember we discussed using the _extend.less file for custom fonts, but I'm not sure if we also need to modify the _email.less file.

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the correct answer is to use the _extend.less and _email.less files to properly integrate the custom font. The _typography.less file might also be relevant, but I'm not as confident about that one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to add the font to the file system, but I'm not sure which specific files we need to edit to make it work in the emails.

This seems straightforward. I think the key is to implement the custom font in the right files, as the question asks.

This seems straightforward. I'd start by adding the font to the file system, then use the _extend.less and _email.less files to properly implement it in the emails. The key is to follow best practices, as the question mentions.

I'm picturing the developer frantically searching for the right font file, like a medieval scribe looking for the perfect quill.

Option D? Really? Adding the font-family in the email template? That's just asking for trouble. Let's stick to the style sheets.
