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?

It was easy and fun until you had thousands of fonts in there, then programs would just crash when you opened the font selector. They weren’t expecting to be rendering previews for all those fonts and just ran out of memory. To solve this issue people invented font managers to allow you to carefully enable and disable sets of fonts before launching the apps you wanted to use them with.

Oh gawd. When doing IT support for graphic designers this was the wrost.
This print shop I mentioned would just tell all their customers “include the fonts on the floppy/CD or we send it back” and then they kept every single font people sent them for years and years. Eventually they didn’t need to ask because they just had everything!
