[Enhancement] Custom Fonts

[scrazzz]

• [x] I have searched existing issues for this feature.

Motivation behind feature

I would like this app to support using custom fonts. And also maybe this can be a challenge that you can take up ;)

Proposed Feature

Allow changing fonts from settings. Only a select few fonts can be added into the app so that the app isn't blaoted. Additionally, maybe allow users to set the font of their own liking by uploading a .tts file to the app settings.

Possible alternatives (if applicable)

N/A

Additional context

NA

something like google font?

[scrazzz]

Uh, sure? Not sure what you meant by that.

[HeCodes2Much]

Like have a drop-down with a list of fonts aka google fonts for users to chose from?

[scrazzz]

Yes, that would be great 👍

[HeCodes2Much]

would this be just for the home screen and app list not for the settings screen?

[scrazzz]

Yes, whichever is easier to implement.

this ill need to look into as having fonts added to the apk can make it bigger and that's not something i want i may look into doing it the downloadable fonts way but i also don't really want to add that eather as that requires INTERNET permission wish we dont require until i start adding widgets (if i chose to follow that path)

I get that but I'd only add 3 nerd fonts and they may not be the ones you want. So having a few I like wouldn't really work that good.

^^

soon you can go to https://the-repo-club.github.io/charmap/ and use feathericons.ttf on the home screen and rename apps...

I'm sorry to let you know but for the time being I have had to revert this feature until I can work out how to make the backup work with non English fonts sorry for the inconveniences this may cause.

[HeCodes2Much]

Sorry to dredge up a closed topic, but how do I get this type of look? I can't see anywhere how to change font or add some icons! Looks great though.

Ah OK, so it's necessary to install the fonts at a system level? If I have understood that correctly that rules me out then, I use GrapheneOS and this isn't an option on the OS. Shame - it looks cool! Cheers for your help.

No you do not need to install anything the font is already used within the app itself all you do is copy and paste the icon from nerd font when renaming an app.
