Installing New Fonts on iPad without having to Payfor an app

How do I install new fonts on my iPad without having to PAY for a font app? I just spent way too much time with copilot giving me suggestions on apps to use and then find out it’s just a small “so-called free” trial. 😢

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Personally I have always used the app AnyFont, which is not expensive and seems to work fine.


Note than downloaded fonts can only be used in those apps which provide a font menu, such as Pages. You cannot change the font of the user interface or apps without such a menu, like Messages.
