OMG!!

I love custom fonts support..

Happy to see this is happening..

Just a request, try adding the fonts Avenir and Futura..

Please add them if you like either of them or both of them..

Thanks, can’t wait for next big updates already..

Added, they look pretty cool! If anyone have other suggestions just let me know, I mostly use the default system font so no idea which fonts people want to use

[–] shuntipepperment@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Wow!! Thanks a lot..

Can’t wait for the next update.. 😍

Not sure if you're aware (I've discussed this with other devs who weren't), but iOS actually lets you add your own fonts and apps can use them. Unfortunately it's not "plug-and-play" like on computer OSes and the support needs to be added for the app to access them. Are you able to look into that, please?

I wish Apple would make it so extra steps aren't necessary from individual apps to use them, but thus far it is 🤦🏻‍♂️

[–] evgiz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll look into it, but no promises! Have to consider how long it will take to implement compared to some other requested features

[–] eatstorming@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, thank you!

[–] fer0n@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely not for me, but it makes me happy to see people working on accessibility features :)

Will you offer font settings for post titles in the feed? Thanks again for the great app.

[–] evgiz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No problem! The font applies to the whole app, including post titles. Do you mean a setting for only post titles?

[–] shuntipepperment@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, that would also be a great option for user to customise the post and comment fonts differently with different size options for each which differentiate each of them and applying the post fonts system wise.

open dyslexic is my favorite font! anyone else ever notice that it tends to be harder for non-dyslexic folk to read?

[–] sgriff@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should’ve used wingdings for this preview lmao

[–] evgiz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Omg I'll have to add wingdings now

You picked a verry practical font to show off your changes. Keep up the good work
