Can’t find the button to add fonts onto ipad illustrator

[Hugh5ECE]

Whenever i press addin your own fonts in the settings it takes me to the web page where it says to upload your own font using the plus button next to the your fonts heading in the propeties section for text but when i open my own app that aformentioned + button doesn't exist and i can infact not add the font i wanted to add

Yep.  In the latest version, you have access to the whole CC font library. And you can upload your own fonts to your CC library or from the Adobe Fonts library.

So head over to your CC app on the iPad, get your new font, then head back to Ai/iPad

What kind of subscription do you have? An individual one?

Yes, the button to add custom fonts (+) is not there on the iPad illustrator version so I am having this issue as well.

I actually found a workaround. Download the font file to your iPad .. then open it in creative cloud and save it to a folder. Then it should show up in illustrator after that!

Hi @Zev31358463t4b6 @Collette28556605p8hn,

Thank you for reaching out with your font-related concern on iPad Illustrator. If you're not seeing the option to add custom fonts using the "+" button, please note that this feature might not be available for you. The ability to add custom fonts is managed by the admin of your organization if you're using an enterprise, business, or team account with Adobe Creative Cloud.

For further assistance with fonts and account settings, I recommend reaching out to your organization's admin or IT support. They should be able to provide guidance on how to manage fonts and settings for your Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

However,  @Collette28556605p8hn workaround for adding custom fonts to iPad Illustrator also works! Your solution sounds like a clever way to get the fonts into the app and make them accessible. It's great to see the community coming together to share tips and solutions.

If you have any more insights or questions, or if there's anything else you'd like to share, feel free to let us know. We're here to assist and learn from each other.

Best regards,

Anshul Saini
