Great question.  Unfortunately, Android has limited font support. It is a function of the OS.  For desktop computers, you can download free fonts and install them on your computer.  This is not the same process on Android/iOS.

I still don't understand why other drawing apps like Medibang Paint have a very wide selection of fonts available while Sketchbook only has a very limited selection of fonts to choose from (on Android).

Ok, thanks, I've added this as a suggestion in the sketchbook-ideas section.

Yes, and besides, Google has provided now a functionality where apps can connect dictly to a font provider (e.g.: Google Fonts) and download fonts on the go. Saying Android support for fonts is lacking is an utterly bad feedback from a company such as Autodesk. They could at least make Sketchbook open-source so we could implement those changes... C'mon Autodesk, you have everything to be great!

I have logged a suggestion for the development team to investigate this as a new feature.

Thank you, that would be great! Perhaps it would seem like text isn't within the scope of the software but, specially these days, with so many handlettering artists and, of course, designers who make use of Sketchbook Pro, that feature would be awesome! \o
