How do I apply a apk file download font I found?

[Dconn1975]

So when I've used Samsung in the past I always use Dave gibbons font. I found it as a apk file online and I've downloaded it but I can't figure out how to apply the font. Do I need to rename it or just simply move it to another folder to be able to use it and apply it? Does anyone know what I need to do after downloading it to be able to apply it to use it. I moved it to themes and that didn't work so I'm totally at a loss as to where it needs to be moved so it can be applied. Can someone instruct me from here now that I know where the apk file is and to what I need to do next to be able to apply it to use it? Any help i would greatly appreciate.

I would advise against installing any apk unless it was from a very trusted source. It could have a virus or other malware

With that said, use a file browser to go to your download folder and just select the apk. It should self install.

Agree with this, I would only use .ttf files when changing a font.

Yes, use a trust site when downloading apk files or your phone can get messed up

It actually installed but I could not get it to apply. It was a font that I used with Samsung but I guess is not compatible with the honor phone even as a apk file as the install did not make the font available no matter where I moved it to unless I had to rename it but it didn't instruct me to so I just stopped trying.

That's an option... Maybe the original download was corrupt

Yes another file might do it.

Or maybe another source

That's a good suggestion!
