Various Android devices allow easily the installation of new fonts : at least it works for the built in UI for the configuration panels itself or some default apps, but tpyically it does not work with many apps that will still be using the staock default fonts. The user's preselected font however is generally respected in apps with input forms for typing text and receiving it, or if the app UI is only using the default menu toolkits. If custome widegets are used, or custom layouts, this won't work as these apps are only tested for specific font designs with precise metrics, even if these fonts are "scalable", given the cumortable margins around UI elements that are needed in all cases for any touch interface.
Some Android devices offer alternative fonts by integrating their own galey of additional fonts (free, or payed). But for stock fonts used in the Android UI, the Noto fonts are almost always preinstalled on devices, but will be updated only with OS upgrades, even if thee fonts are widely distributed online. These Noto fonts however have very limited ans simplified designs for general use. Games will need much more varieties of styles and emphasis than just changing font sizes, colors, or choosing between two roman/italic styles or between two weights, and need precise positioning of text to make the rest of the non-textual space usable for playing with enough distinctions. It's notoriously dfifficult to scale at the same time both graphics and texts, notably when bitmap graphics are not easily scalable and you can't predict the layout needed to fit texts depending on language and script uses, especially on small screens (even if they have higher pixel density and better contrasts, due to the limitation of your eyes and sizes of your fingers). In most cases, this pushes apps developers to reduce texts in their UI and (ab)use icons... Text is definitely not a priority for them and finally nobody cares about developing alternate fonts for smartphones: default stock fonts will be enough if they fit the basic need for the language users want to use and will be rarely updated, unless they buy a new phone with a newer version of the OS featuring better stock fonts. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Garanti sans virus. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
