Docuslice has the full Google Fonts library: more than 1,900 font families, free on every plan, on Android, iOS, the browser and the desktop apps.
Picking a font
Select a text and press Font in the text toolbar.
- Search finds a family by name.
- Categories narrow the list: All, Serif, Sans Serif, Display, Handwriting and Monospace.
- In this project comes first: the fonts already used in this project, so matching a heading to the one beside it is one tap. All fonts follow, most popular first.
- Each row shows the family's name in its own font.
The first time you use a font, Docuslice downloads it. The row shows it is busy, and the font is applied once it arrives.
Styles
Format lists the styles the chosen family has. Most have Regular, Bold and Italic; some have up to eighteen: every weight from Thin to Black, each with its italic. Docuslice never fakes a missing style. See adding and styling text.
Offline
- Eight families come with the app and always work, with no connection: Crimson Text, Kalam, Libre Baskerville, Noto Sans, Poppins, Roboto, Teko and Ubuntu. Poppins is the default.
- On Android and iOS, the fonts your projects use are kept on the device, and the font list from your last connection stays available.
- A font that is not on the device needs a connection the first time. Offline, picking it shows a message instead of applying it.
- With no font list at all, the picker says you are offline and offers the eight families that come with the app.
When a font cannot load
Docuslice never swaps a font without telling you.
- On the canvas, the text draws in the default font, so it stays visible and editable. Select it and a warning icon shows: click or tap the icon to see which font it is and to Try Again.
- Before an export, Docuslice loads every font the poster uses. If one cannot load, it stops and names it, with Try Again, Export Anyway and Cancel. Export Anyway prints that text in the default font.
Fonts in the export
- Standard PDF and images draw each font at your export resolution.
- A vector PDF embeds the fonts, with their kerning and ligatures, so text prints as real, selectable text, shaped as it is on the canvas.
In two cases the whole text prints as an image inside the vector PDF instead, while the rest of the page stays vector:
- Text in a font that paints its own colors, such as Nabla or Bungee Spice.
- Text with a letter its font does not have — Cyrillic or Greek in a font made for Latin text, for example. The canvas fills those letters in from a system font, and the PDF keeps that look.
Privacy
Fonts come from Google's servers, so Google receives your IP address when a font or its preview is downloaded. See the privacy policy.
