There many people with dyslexia and other stuff like that and using some other font like comic sans can make a huge difference on them, yet there is no way to easily (I think) change the font on our devices. We should be able to just download and load the font. What do you think?

    In most oem roms it’s an option, but in other aspects they tend to be worse than google’s walled garden even. From what I can remember Samsung and Oppo/Oneplus/Vivo/Realme have ability to change fonts but I wouldn’t put my trust and money in any of them

      You can indeed change fonts on Samsung but you have like 4 different default options and then you have to download them from galaxy store. Many of them are not free (they are also crap) and you definitely can’t import one on your own.

        I’ve definitely imported a custom font on my Note 20 in the past. Whether that feature is still alive in the most recent One UI versions I’m not sure I suppose, but it was possible, just incredibly backwards and convoluted. If I recall, I had to download a font file and then put it into a very specific folder for the UI to recognize it

          You can also use an app that does it but, again, it shouldn’t be that tedious and it should have been available to all android devices

        From what I gathered just now you can install any flipfont font from google play/aurora store, most of them are useless though
