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?

    You need to be rooted but this should do the trick using Magisk.

    If you want to add all the Windows fonts, if you are on Arch just use this PKGBUILD and build it inside an Arch distrobox if you are on anything else. Just extract the fonts from the generated tar.zst file.

    EDIT: Forgot to add the link (oops)

      I’ll take a look at the Magisk one to see what it can do, thanks!

      It should never be such a pain. TotalCommander allowed me to use any of my thousand TTF fonts by browsing to them and selecting one. That’s it. Simple and instant. It only works within the app for display, though. Of course, TotalCommander was made by the best, works on every device literally and fails at nothing at all. Maybe the Android developers should ask them how to code.
