To ask if anyone uses Procreate app?

[RunnerRunnerDuck]

I’m trying to design something digitally (usually a paper and pen person), and it is the most awful app to use!

For the last hour and a half I’ve been trying to download a font, and cannot do it. I’ve watched about 20 videos that basically say “it’s so simple, just drag the file into procreate and there it is” or “just click import font, click on the file, et voila”. Has it worked? Noitfuckinghasnt.
Does anyone have words of wisdom that might sort this issue?

I am at my wits end, and typing this really angrily.

Open up a new canvas and add a text box. Click on the Aa on the top right of the keyboard. You’ll see import font next to cancel and done :)

Make sure you unzip the file first if you need to (just open up files and click on it to unzip)

I use it daily so let me know if you get stuck!

This is exactly what I’m doing.
The file is unzipped. I’m adding the .otf file, it won’t import.

I can import brushes fine.

I think I’d have to be sectioned if I used it daily, so I’m in awe at how calm you sound!

Are you having trouble with one file or all brush files?

Don’t worry, I’ve been through the angry stage too!

Sorry, font files

All font files. I’ve yet to download one.
Brushes are no problem.
I keep thinking it’s an iPad issue but everything else works fine, so I suspect it’s a user issue!

When you say it won’t import, have you checked it’s not in the list of fonts now?

It’s definitely not in the list of fonts.
I’ve checked each font just in case its name is not what I’m expecting, but nope, no new font at all.

Hmm. Just trying to think.. are you downloading straight to your iPad files, not using google drive or anything? Sometimes that can do funny things to files

Yes I am. I have Dropbox, maybe I’ll give that a try.

I’ll report back. Thank you for your help 💐

I hope it works!

Just had a practice myself. When it works there’s a very quick “importing” message on the screen then they should be in your list.

If it still doesn’t work I would try the classic “off and on again” ie. close everything down properly and open it up and try again - if you haven’t done that already.

Still not working from Dropbox!
Bloody thing!

How frustrating!

What’s specifically happening? You’re pressing “import font”, it takes you to the file, is it letting you click the file? What happens once you click the file? Nothing or an error message?

I click on the file, there’s a short import file buffering thing, but no imported font.

I’m going to think outside the box and find a way to do what I want without importing a font.

Well I’m genuinely stumped. Bloody technology..
