Extra fonts from Flipfont

[Jettaguy2003]

I'm trying to download and install the .apk file from Flip Font Collection that's free and gives over 300 fonts. I've done it w/no problem on the S3 for a few friends, so I got excited and wanted to do it for my S4, and although it installed the app, when I choose a new font, it says it's not available! Anyone else having an issue installing extra fonts? This is of course without rooting the phone. I just got it yesterday, I'm not ready to hack it and mess it up! Can you use ES File Explorer to copy them in manually?

I used this zip on my N2.. It should work on S4..Extract the zip.. Install any apk like a regular app.. http://db.tt/tOYpK1fr

So I downloaded your fonts, and I tried to install Burton (Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas) font, and now it shows 2 of them in the list, but I still get the error that "This font is not available" ? I did this many times on S3's and had no problem. Could my phone be locked? I did put on the "unknown sources" checkmark to allow outside programs to be installed first -- *scratches head*

It seems to be a Samsung issue...Maybe since it's 4.2.2 they forgot (or changed something which needs updating) you're not losing it...

I found this from XDA

Fonts for AT&T Galaxy S4 ? - xda-developers

Found the fix!!!
I installed "IFont" app from play store.
They JUST updated the app and the fix was for the S4 compatibility issue.
The font I wanted was found in the Local fonts and when I set it to use and ReBooted the phone.......it took!​

I just left gym. At&t is next door so I just tested for y'all.. Lol... Set font to non default first... Then download a font.. I made it comic sans.. Then reboot.. It won't show in the list but it made the system font comic sans... Now it states to put your custom fonts to folder it crested.. So you will have to test that part out.. Haha

So I downloaded the iFont program and loved it so much I paid the $1.28 (good deal!) for it! Thanks everyone who wrote back!
