| title: Resolving "Babel and `next/font` Conflict" in Next.js | |
| description: This document explains the "Babel and `next/font` Conflict" in Next.js and provides a solution to resolve this issue. | |
| --- | |
| ## Why This Error Occurred | |
| The "Babel and `next/font` Conflict" error arises when you attempt to use `next/font` in conjunction with a custom Babel configuration in your Next.js application. When you have a custom Babel config, you opt out of the Next.js Compiler, which is a requirement for using `next/font`. | |
| ## Possible Ways to Fix It | |
| To address this issue, you should remove your custom Babel configuration (e.g. `.babelrc`) and instead make use of the Next.js Compiler. This ensures compatibility between your Babel configuration and `next/font`. | |
