How to Use Custom Fonts on Your iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 Devices
If you're tired of the same old fonts on your iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 devices, there's good news for you. Apple now supports custom fonts, giving you the ability to personalize your device's fonts and make them truly your own. While there are some limitations on where these custom fonts can be used, it's still a great feature for those in the creative field who want to add a unique touch to their work. In this article, we'll show you how to install and use custom fonts on your iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 devices.
Install Custom Fonts in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13
1. Fonts Manager in Supported Apps
Custom fonts can only be enabled in apps that support them, so you'll need to enable the font manager option within each individual app. For example, let's try it on the Mail app. Open the Mail app and tap anywhere on the screen to launch the default Apple keyboard. Tap on the Aa icon on the keyboard and select “Default Font.” You can now scroll through a list of available fonts and tap on one to activate it. You can also switch between keyboards by tapping on the globe icon and selecting “Next Keyboard.”
2. Install Custom Fonts on iOS 13 and iPadOS 13
While Apple includes a number of fonts to choose from, you may want to install additional custom fonts. To do this, open the App Store and search for “fonts” to find a variety of font apps. One such app is Font Diner. Install and launch the app, and then tap on “Activate” to install all the fonts that come with the free version. You can check the typography of each font before activating it. These custom fonts will be available in supported apps like Mail and Word.
3. Using Custom Fonts Anywhere on iOS and iPadOS 13
If you want to use custom fonts in any app, not just the ones that are currently supported, you'll need to download and install a fonts keyboard. One recommended app is Cool Fonts, which offers unique fonts and customizable themes for your keyboard. To enable the Cool Fonts keyboard, go to Settings, select “Keyboards” under Cool Fonts, and toggle the option to enable it. Then, go to Settings > Keyboards > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard and select Cool Fonts. Now, you can switch to the Cool Fonts keyboard in any app and choose from a wide range of fonts to use while typing.
In conclusion, iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 bring the exciting feature of custom fonts to your devices. Whether you want to use custom fonts in specific apps or throughout the entire system, there are options available for you. Install custom fonts in supported apps or use a custom fonts keyboard to bring a fresh and unique look to your texts. Get creative and make your iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 devices truly your own with custom fonts.
