I love it! Didn’t know this is possible. I’m using the app *AnyFont* for installing fonts on my iOS devices, but this is a great alternative! Thanks a lot for this Shortcut!

If it successfullt installed, then the font should be available in programs with a font selector eg Apple Pages.

When I go into settings->Profile Downloaded-> install it shows ‘the font is invalid’

What type of font is it ttf/otf? Can you confirm it says invalid and you are not referring to the unsigned message which would be expected. i would expect it not to install at all if it was invalid:

I downloaded OTF font from fontsquirrel.com, but it shows the invalid font message and doesn’t install

Hi you said that it doesn’t install but that it also shows in settings > profile? Could you share the name of the font ?

Is it possible to add the ability to install multiple fonts at the same time in the future? That would be very useful for people like me who use font families.

I just installed a font with this and it worked fine! Is it possible to access the phone via Shortcuts (e.g., to use within I font editor shortcut)?

Sorry Im not sure what you mean.

@dastefster

I meant to say “font” not “phone” sorry! Basically, I was wondering how to access/use the fonts installed with this shortcut?

Depends on the app. You can use in apps that support fonts, like Apple Pages. https://support.apple.com/kb/PH23347?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
