AnyFont: Install Any Font on Your iPhone or iPad [Sponsor]
iOS devices come with a pre-installed set of fonts. That’s great, but sometimes you want more. Whether you’re working on a special presentation or another document, AnyFont makes it possible to use exactly the fonts you want whether they come preinstalled or not.
AnyFont lets you install TrueType Fonts (.ttf), OpenType Fonts (.otf) and TrueType Collections (.ttc) on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Once installed, these fonts can be used system-wide in apps like Pages, Keynote, Word, PowerPoint, Cricut Design, and many others. That’s because fonts added with AnyFont are installed as configuration profiles directly in the iOS Settings app.
If you’ve ever started a presentation on your Mac or PC and then opened it on an iOS device to show off only to find your carefully picked fonts replaced with a different default ones, you’ll understand why AnyFont is so powerful. By installing the fonts you use on your desktop on your mobile devices with AnyFont you can confidently show off your presentations on iOS knowing that they’ll look exactly the way you intended. This makes AnyFont the perfect solution for any creative user.
AnyFont is extremely easy to use and comes with an extensive FAQ and an introductory tutorial that walks you through the simple steps for installing a font. AnyFont also features:
- The ability to add new single fonts or multiple fonts as a ZIP file using iTunes file sharing or the ‘Open in…’ feature from apps like Mail, Files, or Dropbox
- Font previews
- An optional bundle of 1,000+ fonts as an In-App Purchase for $ 0.99
- A complete list of installed and available fonts on your device
- 3D Touch
- Localizations in English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
Don’t limit yourself to the fonts that come with iOS, visit AnyFont’s website to learn more, and download the app today to install any font at all on your iPhone or iPad.
Our thanks to AnyFont for sponsoring MacStories this week.
