Hi,
I would like to use Montserrat font in Light version, which is obviously available on the website (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat). However in GWD I have an option to choose from Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic only.

You can use all available weights like "light" of any Google font, but it's a little manual if not listed in the Web Designer UI.

In Google fonts, select all the weights you'd like to use and generate a LINK tag, copy this and in Web Designer > Code View paste to replace/overwrite the existing font LINK tag.

Then in Design View, to use weights not appearing in the UI, select your text and use the CSS panel to assign a font-weight value like 200.

Hope that helps,

Kent
