- AnyFont
- Font Changer
- Install the app and launch it.
- Grant the app the necessary permissions (e.g., storage access).
- Browse to the font file you want to install (e.g., a
.ttf
or.otf
file). - Select the font file and follow the app's installation instructions.
- The font should now be installed on your device.
Method 2: Install fonts using a file manager app
- Download a file manager app from the Google Play Store, such as:
- ES File Explorer
- File Manager
- Solid Explorer
- Install the app and launch it.
- Grant the app the necessary permissions (e.g., storage access).
- Navigate to the folder where you saved the font file (e.g.,

orDCIM
). - Long-press on the font file and select "Install" or "Install as font" from the context menu.
- The font should now be installed on your device.
Method 3: Install fonts using the Android Settings app
- Go to your device's Settings app.
- Scroll down and select "Display" or "Accessibility" (depending on your device).

Tips and limitations

- Some font manager apps may require root access to install fonts.
- Fonts installed using Method 1 or 2 may not be available for all apps, as some apps may not support custom fonts.
- Fonts installed using Method 3 may only be available for the system font, and not for individual apps.
