Contact us if you want to know whether a specific app is supported. If the app is not supported please contact the developer and request supported for all installed fonts. Let them contact us if necessary; adding support is really easy!

= FAQ =
Q: What fonts can I install?
A: Almost any. You can locate .otf and .ttf font files on your Mac or PC, mail them and open in Fonteer. You can download fonts from the internet. You can easily browse Google Fonts from within the app.
Q: Can I change the system font?
A: No. Installing a font does not change the default fonts used on your iPad or iPhone. It makes the font available for other applications to use.
Q: I installed a font, but it does not show up in 'Random App'!
A: That's not a question! Seriously though, Fonteer makes the fonts available, but it cannot force an app to show the fonts. Try to ask the developer of 'Random App' nicely if he or she can support all system fonts. Your mileage may vary, but developers can be nice people too :-)
Q: This can never work!
A: A question is a sentence that ends with a question mark; that bent exclamation thingy. Seriously; this does work. Do not take my word for it. Go install the free version and try it. The free version will allow you to install three fonts.
Q: I don't get an install button when I tap the attachment!
A: Make sure to send the email to yourself. Make sure to open the email in the default iOS mail application.
Q: Help! Something does not work.
A: Should there still be any issue, do not hesitate to contact me at info@design-luscinia.nl

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-01-18, version 1.5.3*

I selected the fonts to install and followed the instructions it listed, but none of the fonts I “install” show up in the Fonts section of Settings, nor any apps that use custom fonts. I don’t know if this is an iPadOS 16.2 issue or an app one, but still disappointing nonetheless :(

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your response. Since iOS14 fonts installed via configuration profiles (the method Fonteer) uses no longer show up in the fonts section in Settings. However, they can still be accessed by other apps! You can check which fonts you installed under ‘VPN & Device Settings’ and check the contents of the profile. You can also check Apple’s Pages app, in which you can use the fonts installed via Fonteer.

### 3/5 — Coolz

*2023-01-16, version 1.5.3*

It’s okay

### 5/5 — Fonteer

*2022-09-26, version 1.5.3*

Very good

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-12-05, version 1.5.3*

App loads fonts into a vpn profile while iOS 15 cannot seem to recognize as fonts. Needs to be updated.

**Developer response:** Thank for your review. Since iOS14 fonts installed via configuration profiles are no longer shown in Settings, but they are still available to other apps (provided the apps support installed fonts).

### 1/5 — terrible; useless

*2021-06-19, version 1.5.3*

i upgraded to the pro version and it still doesn’t work. i’d like a refund.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work with ios 14

*2021-01-12, version 1.5.3*

Ever since updating to ios 14 none of my installed fonts show up in system or any apps. It use to work great, but now it doesnt. Why is this not fixed yet?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The apps in which the fonts were available in iOS 13 and are no longer in iOS 14 need an update. You can try to contact the developers yourself or send me a list of apps (info@design-luscinia.nl) so I can contact them. Kind regards, Jack

### 3/5 — Was Great Now Broken?

*2020-11-06, version 1.5.3*

I've used Fonteer for about 4 years. It worked well for many years but recently it’s stopped working.  When a font is imported utilizing one of the font sites Fonteer recommends, the font that's added is always 'empty' so no font has really been added.  

Using other tools I can see that the font is really there...but it seems like Fonteer just doesn’t see it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review.  Could you contact us at info@design-luscinia.nl so we can try to resolve the issue?

### 1/5 — Horrible.

*2020-05-08, version 1.5.3*

This app is not only confusing, but doesn’t work in the slightest. After you try to downland it, just leads you back to the app. Don’t waste your time and find a different app.

### 3/5 — Question

*2020-05-07, version 1.5.3*

My font is installed, but how do i select it so it changes to the font i want?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Installed fonts will appear in the font selection of the app you use (usually sorted alphabetically). You can check the app description or in-app information for a list of supported apps. Feel free to contact us at info@design-luscinia.nl for additional support.

### 1/5 — Be aware, Don’t install this app

*2020-03-08, version 1.5.3*

This garbage developer wants to use your emails for his benefits.
