When iOS14 got released in September, Apple changed the way apps access custom fonts for more privacy and we have instantly received tons of messages from you asking about the missing 'import fonts' option. So, You no longer have access to your favorite fonts unless you install them via a Font importer app. No more bad fonts!
Today, we are glad to introduce to you a new tool that helps you create and organize your own library of custom fonts. And after lots of searching, we found the perfect solution and name to importing fonts: Fontinator.
Fontinator lets you import any of your font files (.TTF, .OTF) and install it onto your iOS & iPadOS system. That means that your new custom fonts will work on any app that supports custom fonts like Pages, Keynote or of course, Vectornator.
You can preview your fonts, font families, add and delete fonts to your liking. Plus, you can open any installed font directly in Vectornator and jump right into work!
