Add your own fonts to the BOOX Palma 2
Copy font files into the right folder and the Palma 2's stock reader picks them up. Third-party reading apps use their own font folders.
The stock NeoReader app on the Palma 2 reads fonts from a “fonts” folder in internal storage. Drop TTF or OTF files there, restart the app, and they show up in the font menu. Third-party readers keep their own font lists, so if you use one of those, add the font there too.
Before you begin
-
Get your font files ready
You want TTF or OTF files. A "font family" is usually four files — regular, bold, italic, bold-italic. Keep them together so the reader can switch weights.
-
Copy them to the fonts folder
Connect the Palma 2 by USB (choose "File transfer"), or use a microSD card. Copy your fonts into the "fonts" folder in internal storage. If there is no "fonts" folder, create one at the top level.
-
Restart the NeoReader app
Close NeoReader from the recent-apps view and open it again so it re-scans the folder.
-
Pick the font while reading
Open a book, tap the middle for the menu, then the font control. Your added fonts appear in the same list as the built-in ones.
-
For other reading apps, use their own folder
Moon+ Reader, ReadEra and KOReader each have their own font setting or folder. Adding a font to the system "fonts" folder does not automatically put it in those apps.
