Custom Font Arrived!

topics:

tips & tricks:

  • You can create desktop shortcuts to each article set, e.g., Favorites (Starred): tap Starred from the sidebar and choose Create a shortcut on Home Screen from the menu (three dots on the top right corner).

We’re happy to let You know that soon Your HNR may fit Your taste and preference to a significantly higher degree, thanks to incorporating a bunch of custom fonts for You to pick and choose :) . To make this good news even nicer, the font of Your choice will be applied throughout all the app’s GUI, not only article text - so You can enjoy the new look even further :) . We hope that it will make Your Handy News Reader experience surprisingly nicer :) .

Note that while browsing all the available fonts You can instantaneously see how each of them would look in both a regular and bold form.

If You like to dive a little bit deeper into the HNR, You can apply other font-faces to selected parts of articles (on a CSS classes basis).

Another fantastic thing is that You can use Your Own font as well :) - just put a .ttf file into the following location within Your data folder (Advanced › Data folder):

/Android/data/ru.yanus171.feedexfork/files/feedex/fonts/

and it should be available on the font list (settings › Theme › Font).

    Loving your app. I have a Xiaomi Phone and I am unable to select any font from the list and even after adding my custom font in the folder I cant see it there in the options. Can you help me out?

      Sure, I’d like to ask You a few questions:

      1. Could You tell what exact Android and MIUI ver. You have?

      2. When You try to change font - does font name change on the list?

      3. Do You use SD-card?

      4. What do You have set up within Handy’s settings › Advanced › Data folder?

      1. I have MIUI 11.0.2
      2. All the fonts appear on the list, even my custom font, but I cant select any of them. When I click on default font, only it highlights (I can post a gif if needed). So name is not changed
      3. No, I don't have any SD card.
      4. Its set to External Memory (/storage/emulated/0)

If You’d like to share a little bit more thoughts on those, it would be great (it’s not necessary):🔽(click to show)
