Adding fonts to an OS is ancient, so it is baffling to me to have such trouble finding any resources on how to add my fonts to Android. How many fundamentals do they have to turn decades backward?

This won't be popular, but any time I see an android screenshot with a custom font it looks offensively bad to me. I still think it's important for accessibility reasons though, as certain fonts can be a big help for people with dyslexia.

The worst examples are the ones we remember or notice the most. Particularly egregious examples include those cursive looking fonts that looks like the handwriting of someone who likes loops too much.
