Mental with a chance of success

Post by richmond62 » Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:39 pm

I was wondering, in a daft sort of way, about porting my Devawriter to Android
(for all those end-users who want to write letters to Mother in Sanskrit on their tablets)
and started thinking about the fact that it depends on my bespoke fonts series.

Would the best thing be to embed the fonts in the Android standalone OR, in some way,
install them on the end-user's Android device?

Planning to "fart around" with this idea on Bluestacks.

In the app. Very few mobile users install custom fonts, or even know how.

Android font bundling is super simple nowadays too.
