## Font configuration for unsupported languages
Zulip uses the Source Sans 3 font, which [supports over 30 languages][adobe-docs].
If Source Sans 3 does not support your language, you may need to configure your
browser to use a different font or adjust the default font size to properly
display all the characters. See the documentation for [Chrome][chrome-docs],
[Firefox][firefox-docs], or [Edge][edge-docs] for more information on how to
configure your browser's default font.
