Sketchbook Pro supports native and system fonts on Windows and MacOS. Sketchbook Pro also supports most downloadable font sets, including TrueType, OpenType or PostScript fonts. After installing new fonts to your hardware, restart Sketchbook Pro to view them in the font menu in the Text Editor.
Once you've created text with the Text tool, you are in Transform mode. Text can be moved, scaled, rotated, flipped, even distorted with the Transform Puck. Font size determines how much you can scale a font. A font size of 12 cannot be scaled up as much as one set to 24. A font of 12 cannot be scaled down as much as one set to 5. To scale a font any further, return to the Text window and increase/decrease the font size.

If you want to change the text, be it a spelling mistake, to change the font, font size, make something bold, italicized, or underlined, or to change the color, use the Edit Text Layer window.
Great question. Unfortunately, Android has limited font support. It is a function of the OS. For desktop computers, you can download free fonts and install them on your computer. This is not the same process on Android/iOS.
I still don't understand why other drawing apps like Medibang Paint have a very wide selection of fonts available while Sketchbook only has a very limited selection of fonts to choose from (on Android).
Yes, and besides, Google has provided now a functionality where apps can connect dictly to a font provider (e.g.: Google Fonts) and download fonts on the go. Saying Android support for fonts is lacking is an utterly bad feedback from a company such as Autodesk. They could at least make Sketchbook open-source so we could implement those changes... C'mon Autodesk, you have everything to be great!
As numerous other users have posted on this forum, the font picker in Sketchbook for iOS cannot currently access user-installed fonts on iOS 14. I'm writing as the co-developer of the iOS font management app iFont. We've been contacted by a number of users who've lost access to their custom fonts after upgrading to iOS 14, and I thought it might be helpful to share my view on what Sketchbook's developers need to do to fix this issue.
2. Adopt UIFontPickerViewController in place of the custom font selection UI included in Sketchbook at present. (Developer team: please note the font picker can be embedded as a child view controller as normal. It doesn't require modal presentation, so your current approach of embedding the font picker in a popover would not need to change).
In iOS 13, Apple added a new application programming interface (API) for installing fonts. The new API has a critical limitation - namely it can only be used by apps for fonts that come 'bundled' as part of the app. In addition, iOS 13 did not include fonts installed via this API in the list of all installed fonts given to other apps by default. To allow users to select these fonts, apps had to use the new system font picker, which runs in a separate process and does have access to the full list of installed fonts. Fonts installed via configuration profiles were not impacted by this change, so the situation was as follows:
iOS 14 went further, and now hides fonts installed via configuration profiles from the list of installed fonts unless apps' developers had added the necessary entitlement for their apps to access user-installed fonts. Since Sketchbook presumably hasn't done this, users have lost access to any fonts they'd installed via configuration profiles after updating.
One area I omitted to mention is the CTFontManagerRequestFonts() API, which was added to the CoreText framework in iOS 13. Apps can use this API to request access fonts: if the font's installed (by any method), the operating system makes the font available, following which it can be created as normal via the UIFont API. As such it's helpful when opening documents with a custom font set. The best documentation on this API is in the presentation from WWDC 2019.
We're still getting some users contact us about using custom fonts in Sketchbook on iOS 14. Until now we've advised any users who contacted us that Autodesk is working on an update, and that this should be out soon.
With respect to the development team, who I appreciate will have other competing commitments, this issue has been apparent for half a year now, so I find the idea that a fix is being worked on with any urgency a little hard to believe. I'm really keen to be proven wrong though, and look forward to the eventual update (and, as per my post above, am happy to provide any assistance if needed). Until then, with regret, we'll advise iFont users that Sketchbook is no longer compatible with custom fonts, and that users should switch to another app if this is a dealbreaker for them.
I am interested in font development in the context of web design. I have recently started teaching UX and I am constantly looking for good materials, courses or internships. By the way, I want to share with you this site -masculine-fonts/ (if suddenly there are newbies here like me). This resource helped me a lot with my first practical exercise of fonts design creating.
Since updating to IOS 14.1, I'm no longer able to access fonts I've installed to the ipad (using profiles via AnyFont app) within Sketchbook. I then updated to Sketchbook 5.1.7 in the hopes that the 'bug fixes' would sort this out, but no luck!
I think the fonts are there/accessible to Sketchbook, but just not appearing in the menu of fonts. I say this because I was still able to type with my installed font until I accidentally changed to another font, then I had no way of re-selecting my custom font (because it doesn't appear on the list).
I'm hoping this is an easy fix, and please could someone tell me whether this can be remedied? I REALLY rely on being able to access installed .otf fonts within sketchbook for my work, so I would be willing to pay for the time required to implement this fix, if that's what it takes.
Hello, I am facing this issue too. Noted that the problem is "solved" but I don't see any solution here. The fonts that I installed are working fine in other apps (e.g. notability). Pls help to fix this issue ASAP please!
I am so incredibly disappointed there is still no ETA on getting this issue resolved. I mainly use this program for my editing and creating and not being able to access installed fonts is truly awful. This has been an ongoing issue for almost if not over a year and when last reported it was the same response. I hope you consider expediting this issue as it is not a new issue.
I had the same problem. I have been looking for fonts to download for a very long time. But when I found it, I decided to update the IOS and then I did not have the opportunity to use them, because the access was closed.
If you want to learn how to add fonts to Sketchbook Pro, in this short tutorial I'll show you how to do it on two systems: Windows and Mac. You're just a few steps away from expanding the Sketchbook Pro font library with some amazing fonts!
If you need some bold handwritten letters, something that could be drawn with chalk or a thick marker, this font will help you achieve this effect. The pack also includes graphic elements that you can use in your artwork!
Do you need something that looks quick and energetic, but also clean and stylish? This font will be perfect for you! Unlike many decorative fonts, it's easily readable, without losing its handwritten character.
Are you looking for something truly unique? This font will allow you to write in a style that immediately catches the attention of the viewer. It's hard to believe that it's a font, and not real handwriting!
You can install nearly any TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) font on your iPad or iPhone. You can't change the system font, but you can use your installed fonts in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Autodesk Sketchbook, Adobe Comp CC, and more.
Apps like iFont, AnyFont, and Fonteer all let you download a font on your iPad, and then quickly package it into a configuration profile you can easily install. These apps let you install fonts in .ttf or .otf formats. They also support .zip files with .ttf or .otf fonts inside them.
All three apps work similarly, but have slightly different interfaces. iFont is completely free with advertisements, although you can pay $0.99 to remove the ads. AnyFont requires an up-front $1.99 purchase. Fonteer lets you install up to three fonts, but you'll have to pay $1.99 to install more.
You may be able to download the font from within the app itself. For example, in iFont, you can tap the "Download" tab at the bottom of the app to view a list of fonts from Google's font library. You can then search for any font in the library and tap the "Get" button to download it to your iPad.
You can also just download fonts from the web. Head to a font download website in Safari, and then tap the download link. If the font is available as a .zip, .ttf, or .otf file, you'll see an option to "Open in iFont" or your app of choice.
You'll be prompted to import the fonts from the downloaded file into your font app. You can also save the fonts to a location like iCloud Drive, and then import them from within whichever font app you're using.
You'll be warned that the profile isn't signed with a key. That's because it was generated on your device. You can see it's safe by tapping "More Details," which shows you exactly what's in the profile---in this case, only the fonts you chose.
Your installed fonts appear in the fonts menu in various apps alongside the standard fonts. You don't have to do anything special to find them. Just tap whatever "Fonts" button the app has and select the fonts you installed from the normal font list.
