    The ability to load custom fonts comes to mind. I remember when I was converting my document from TeX to Typst was that I wasn’t able to just specify my .ttf file path.

      I don’t know what Typst’s custom font support was like in the past, but, currently [1], Typst does allow the usage of custom fonts:

      • The Typst CLI can use installed system fonts [1.2].
      • The Typst CLI can be passed directories that should be scanned for fonts through the --font-path argument or the TYPST_FONT_PATHS environment variable [1.3].
      • Fonts can also be uploaded directly to the web app [1.1].

        1. In the web app, […] You can provide additional fonts by uploading .ttf or .otf files into your project. […]

        2. Locally, [in the CLI,] Typst uses your installed system fonts […]
