# Glyphs

A style's `glyphs` property provides a URL template for loading signed-distance-field glyph sets in PBF format.

"glyphs": `https://api.nextbillion.io/fonts/{fontstack}/{range}.pbf`

This URL template should include two tokens:

1.  _`{fontstack}`_ When requesting glyphs, this token is replaced with a comma separated list of fonts from a font stack specified in the [text-font property](/maps/web-v2/style-specification/layers) of a symbol layer.
    
2.  _`{range}`_ When requesting glyphs, this token is replaced with a range of 256 Unicode code points. For example, to load glyphs for the [Unicode Basic Latin and Basic Latin-1 Supplement blocks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_block), the range would be 0-255. The actual ranges that are loaded are determined at runtime based on what text needs to be displayed.
