Simply put.. you can't. Or rather, you shouldn't due to lack of support.

The only way to use custom fonts is by creating images for the text. That may or may not be feasible depending upon the amount of text.

While the answer above may have been true up until now. Looks like the answer may be changing.

Good email marketing design is about graceful degradation. While some major email clients do not support web fonts, some do... including clients on mobile devices. If your willing to make sure that your fall back fonts do not break your design in an unacceptable way then campaign monitor has a great article about the state of support for different clients and best practices.

Atleast you can always put pictures instead of text just like in the good old times ;-)

I disagree with some of the previous answers saying that you cant or shouldnt.

A lot of modern email clients do have support for web fonts using the @import and @FONT_FACE method.

Whilst the list of email clients that will support these fonts inst exhaustive, they are all still in the list of 10 most used clients.

Clients that will support these methods are:

AOL Mail

Native Android mail app (not Gmail app)

Apple Mail

iOS Mail

Outlook 2000

Outlook.com app

When using web fonts just make sure you provide a fallback web-safe font for clients that dont want to play ball, not setting a fallback web-safe font will default the font to something like Times New Roman.

As others have said, if you absolutely need a font that isnt supported which is important to your design (for example: in a header), it may be best to make the text as part of the image. Just be aware that in email clients that dont load images, it may be unclear what your email is about.

If ya wanna use 'em, just copy and paste them from your Microsoft Office Word. It worked for me. I used Live and ProtonMail to test it, and used 2 different browsers (Chrome and Opera).
