How to Use a New Font on Android

How to Use a New Font on Android Today, there are powerful smartphones and tablets on the market with octa-core processors and lots of RAM memory. These mobile devices with very high-tech hardware are replacing laptops and desktops in the old world. You can do almost all of your computer tasks on these mobile devices, from video chatting, printing, gaming, text document editing, graphic design, video editing and many more.

But Android-based mobile devices only come with a certain number of pre-installed fonts; sometimes it’s a struggle to choose the right font for your documents. While some apps like Office of WPS use their own fonts, most other apps rely on the fonts installed on Android. The only way for such apps to use new fonts is to install these new fonts on Android first.

How to install and use new fonts on Android

Font Installer app only works on Rooted Android devices as it has to make changes to the Android system folder (all fonts are installed in the ” /system/fonts/” folder ). When you launch the Font Installer app, it shows you the options to download fonts from the server or use local fonts. You can download fonts from the Internet under the Server section .You can browse for any font (TTF or OTF) on your SD card under the  Local  section (we assume that you have copied the font files from your memory card to somewhere). Tapping on any font will show options to install or preview it. In these options you can choose to install a font by tapping  Install .

Once one or more fonts have been installed, you need to restart Android to install these new fonts. Each time you install a new font, it displays the restart prompt – but you can cancel the restart and install more fonts before you decide to restart your device. After Android restarts, you can open all apps that use Android system fonts and start using the new fonts. In the screenshot below, the Office editor is using the newly installed fonts.

Another important feature of the Font Installer app is its ability to backup and restore fonts. In fact, the first time you install a font using this app, it allows you to create initial backups of all existing fonts. This way you can always restore the original Android fonts without backing them up. You can restore all selected fonts in the same way.

Consequently;

If you have a rooted Android smartphone or tablet, you can install many new fonts using the Fonts Installer app. The newly installed fonts can be used in all other apps that support Android system fonts. This way you can use the fonts of your choice in your text documents, graphic documents and other apps.

You can get Font Installer for Android from Google Play Store.
