Adding fonts to an OS is ancient, so it is baffling to me to have such trouble finding any resources on how to add my fonts to Android. How many fundamentals do they have to turn decades backward?

    I’m not sure how much of what you’re saying is accurate, but my iPhone has like thirty fonts. Android has five. I’m not asking for something unreasonable; I should be able to expect it and be surprised and disappointed that it’s such a prohibitive notion.

    All my Windows computers over the years have had hundreds of custom fonts I’ve installed. Never once had malicious code in a font, and that’s Windows - the biggest target for viruses.

    I’m just saying by now it should not be considered superfluous or some kind of luxury, it should be considered expectable.
