Installing Mobile Ready Products onto your Android Phone

[jenevang]

OK. Full disclosure. I DO NOT have an Android phone, LOL, but I know some of your Android users are having issues w/ getting all of these Mobile Ready goodies onto your phones and using them. Here's what I found from the Phonto folks.

OK, I don't have access to an android phone to test this but here's what the Phonto app for Android says about installing fonts/dingbats into that program with an Android phone...

How to install fonts (onto an Android Phone)
---------------------------------------------------
To install fonts, place the font files (***ttf or ***.otf) into the fonts folder, /[sdcard]/Phonto/fonts.
'Phonto' and 'fonts' folders will be created automatically after Phonto launched.
In addition to that, you can install fonts from file management app like ASTRO file manager.
1. Download font file from online.
2. Unzip if you downloaded zip file (***.zip).
3. Open font file (***ttf or ***.otf) in Phonto from file management app.

Dropbox allows you to easily share font files between PC and smartphone.
- Too many font files might cause the app to crash. You should reduce the number of font files as small as possible.
- If you download a font file from online as zip format (***.zip), you need to unzip it.

Hope that helps some.

P.S. The iPhone instructions are on the blog.
