SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Downloaded Fonts from Dafont Style and Google Fonts
2. Not showing in krita fonts, i created a folder called krita and placed the fonts under 
3. Krita didnt recognized the fonts. Font files ended with tff

OBSERVED RESULT
Reached out to ChatGPT and DeepSeek for assistance; without exaggerating been trying this for 3 hours none stop. Followed all the steps, placed them in correct folders, i read krita reads it and has it ready for me in the fonts section. I would restart Krita, logged in and check the fonts section and still nothing. I thought maybe the files were corrupted, downloaded 2 font apps and didnt worked. I then tested the fonts from Google fonts and it has the OFL.txt file which meant its legit/secured/licenced etc, still krita didnt worked. I tried each file of fonts in Ibis Paint X and it saved all of them inside the font section

EXPECTED RESULT
For Frita to save the fonts please

Hi,

There's no such thing as a fonts folder inside a krita folder. Only in 5.3 there's a fonts folder, but that's inside the resource folder, but 5.3 isn't even released. It is right now not possible to load extra fonts on android, and if the LLMs told you to take these steps, they have hallucinated them.
