Google AdSense Adds Font Selection

By Barry Schwartz

The Google AdSense blog has added the font selection preference for publishers. Publishers can now pick between Arial, Times, and Verdana font types and they will be present on all of their Latin-based character units.

Publishers can pick the font style two different ways within the AdSense console.

They can go to the “Ad Display Preference” section and define their default font style
When setting up an individual ad, you can specify the font style there

Google has been testing various font styles in the past, and I suspect that we will see Google add more types to the list in the future.
