Install Custom TTF/OTF Fonts Manually

  1. Create ".fonts" (with leading dot) directory on your SD card using your desktop PC. If you use MS Windows OS you may create the directory in the following way: "Start" -> "Run..." -> run "cmd" command -> execute "md X:.fonts" command (where "X" is your SD card drive letter).
  2. Put your fonts into the directory.
