It's a known issue with Outlook. Any browser-based email client, like Gmail, handle Web fonts just fine. Even Outlook for iOS displays it correctly. It looks like Outlook desktop (mac or windows) needs to be explicitly told about all the weights used in any Web font. Using @font-face, Constant Contact includes the reference to Roboto Normal, so Outlook displays Roboto Normal correctly. But if a block of text uses Roboto Bold, Outlook displays it as Normal. I've read some discussion online that explicitly including @font-face inclusions for Roboto Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic should help Outlook display them correctly. Have any of Constant Contact's developers explored this? It would open up a lot more design options involving Web fonts.

I've set my headlines in my Constant Contact emails to use Roboto Bold. Any of my contacts using web-browser email clients see the correct Bold font. But Outlook displays it as a Regular weight. Poking through the HTML code, I see Constant Contact includes only Roboto Regular. @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: local('Roboto'), local('Roboto-Regular'), url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v18/KFOmCnqEu92Fr1Mu4mxKKTU1Kg.woff2) format('woff2'); unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2212, U+2215;} Could it work to also include Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic explicitly? Something like this? @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOmCnqEu92Fr1Mu4mxKKTU1Kg.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; src: local('Roboto-Italic'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOkCnqEu92Fr1Mu51xIIzIXKMny.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; src: local('Roboto-Bold'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOlCnqEu92Fr1MmWUlfBBc4AMP6lQ.woff2) format('woff2'); } @font-face { font-family: 'Roboto'; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; src: local('Roboto-BoldItalic'), src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v27/KFOjCnqEu92Fr1Mu51TzBic6CsTYl4BO.woff2) format('woff2'); }

Update I was using the GetContacts API call (https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Contacts/getContacts) I noticed that it passes email address as a URL query string, so it has to be URL encoded first. Solution: $email = urlencode($email);

Hi, I am writing an app that connects to Constant Contact API. I noticed that whenever I tried to pass an email address with pluss addressing (some_user+test1@domain.tld), API does not parse it and returned null. Do I need to encode it first? Or does the API does not support it? Thanks, Rudy
