This Article covers how to install custom fonts in to AEM.
In order to have a Custom Font available within AEM, one can use ‘Gibson Font Manager Services’ configuration. Navigate to http://[server]:[port_number]/system/console/configMgr and edit “CQ-DAM-Handler-Gibson Font Manager Service”.

W.r.t. configurations, there are three options available:
Configure Location of system Font directory: Add the path to your system font library (e.g. “/Library/Fonts” under macOS).
Configure Adobe Server Font directory: Alternatively, you can add the font to “[AEM Install Dir]/crx-quickstart/fonts”.
Configure Custom Font directory: Or have the fonts placed on the custom directory of your choice and provide the path in the ‘Configure Custom Font directory’ field.
Finally, restart the AEM server and now the font should be available with AEM.
Debugging: One can use http://[server]:[port]/system/console/slinglog to create a log against ‘com.day.cq.dam.handler.gibson.fontmanager.impl.FontManagerServiceImpl’ and check whether the fonts are loaded during the AEM start.
