Issues with adding fonts

[Jennifer Stough]

Ok, so I'm trying to add fonts for uccw. The fonts I am dealing with are in .ttf format. I downloaded Es file manager, copied the file, went to device storage> system> fonts> paste, and got an error message. I also tried creating a folder in the sdcard0 titled fonts> copy file> paste and the font did not show up on uccw. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

I had an issue like this, and I discovered that the fonts I was trying to use were zipped. The workaround I came up with was to download the fonts onto my laptop, use winzip (it's free) to unzip them, put them in my dropbox, then export the .ttf font from dropbox to my already created fonts folder. It's a bit of a hassle yes, but it works well enough for me, and I change my uccw setup daily!

D'oh, I don't have a drop box or anything of that like. And I have WinZip on my phone. I have extracted the file from the zip folder and get filename.ttf, that is an extracted file, correct?

This is the error I am recieving. I am downloading the .zip file from dafonts, extracting the file to get a .ttf file, and attempting to move to system fonts.

I figured it out. The folder I had created in sdcard0 was capitalized. It needed to be lowercase.
