Font Switching Coming Soon
Hi all,
It's been a long time coming. 
Hundreds of you have asked for this over the years, and we're excited to share we're bringing font-switching to iOS and Android in the coming weeks.
A few details on what we're hoping to deliver:
- Changing the default English font
- Changing the default Greek font
- Changing the default Hebrew Font
- We'll make sure our default values for margin and line height look amazing
We're still working on the final font lists... I'm sure we'll offer more than most people need and less than what some people want. You'll be able to see the full list if you join the beta.
We need your help! Please join the public beta for iOS or Android. We want your feedback on this and some other significant new features over the coming months.
It's much easier to join the iOS beta now than it was in the past. Simply click this link and download the Testflight app: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ftLCn5d6
To join the Android beta, just visit the Google Play listing for Logos (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logos.androidlogos&hl=en_US) and click on the join Beta button.
Thanks,
-Daniel Di Bartolo

When I try to accept the beta through Test Flight, I get an error advising that it was not accepted or unavailable. Any thoughts? I'd love to help.

Hello Daniel,
Good to hear about new features. Can't wait
.Is that possible to add features to change Cyrillic font for my Russian Synodal Module? The problem Russian community might have even worse than my fellow friends who requested these addons. When I open my RST module in my Android Logos app, it looks awkward. I can read, yes, but the font looks bad. I wish we woukd have an option to select at least Times New Romans or other sans font.
Please consider adding mire typography with the cyrillics unicode fonts.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Hi, I joint the Logos beta on iOS, but I can't find how to switch font. How?
Also, if this hasn't been supported: can you support using the system font as well? iOS has a way (though not straight forward) to install custom fonts. It will be nice one can use them.

It's not available in the beta yet - from Daniel's post I expect it will be soon.

Thanks. I thought he meant "coming soon" in stable release and is open for beta testing.
And please consider adding system font support.

Thanks so much. BTW line height for LEB is still buggy in Android beta - issues handling superscript.

Any update on this? I know things take time
Hi JT,
This will be included in the next Beta versions for both iOS and Android.

Thanks!
8.2.1 is the current beta for iOS, so sometime after that.
Sorry JT,
I need to correct what I previously said.
This feature will be included in the 8.3.1 Beta release.

Any chance san Francisco (Apple’s system font) will be an option? I would love to have it as an option on iOS and Mac.

On Android beta not all fonts options seem to be consistently applied.
For example when I select the RCL Daily reading the text hyperlink at the top of the new pop up is in the default Logos font and not the font I selected in settings.

I don't think Apple makes that available within non-apple apps.
Not true--I have non-apple apps where it's an option and I use it.

I have a somewhat off-topic question, but not altogether irrelevant. In many of the books I'm writing, I use one font for my text and another for Bible text that I am quoting. I use italic and bold frequently, which can at times produce less than acceptable results with certain fonts. From testing a variety of fonts, I have learned that quite a few fonts just don't present well for the material I am producing. Assuming that one day (apparently in the very distant future) I might have something available in Logos, is there a way to "lock" the fonts so that users don't unintentionally "break" the text by choosing what they prefer rather than using what has been chosen by me because it works? For hard copy books, this wouldn't even be a consideration, but given the font manipulation options of Logos, this is something I think and worry about.

Make sure to create a BUG post on the beta mobile FL group.
Can someone add me to that group? I haven't received an invite, but been on TestFlight for ages!

See if this link takes you to a place to request membership.
https://faithlife.com/logos-8-mobile-app-beta-testers/activity
If that doesn't work, try searching for Logos 8 mobile app beta testers
FWIW - I strongly detest their use of FL Groups to meet this need. But if you are beta testing, you need to join and participate, else it defeats the purpose of your testing.
