Step 1: Access the Custom Fonts Section
Login to your WordPress Dashboard. Locate and select the “ProductX” menu option. Click the “Custom Fonts” option to access the font editor page.
In the Custom Fonts section, click the “Add New” button. This will take you to the font upload page, where you can add a new custom font.
