I so agree! We need a lot more fonts in Scratch, especially with all the Google fonts that Scratch does not have. I fully support this!!

Support. We need more fonts.

Support, it's really easy to import fonts from Google fonts. All you have to do is

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster“ rel=”stylesheet“ type=”text/css">

to import a font from Google fonts(in this case the Lobstor font).

We could use the google font instead of downloading or drawing!

Bump.

I don't know why I feel so melancholy; I'm almost done writing descriptions, and yet I don't want to be done bumping…

SUPPORT. Lato is my website's font and I would want to use it in my projects.

No, there could be some 18+ fonts or fonts with 18+ name!

Bruh it's a style of letters, how can someone make something 18+ out of that.

There can be a blocking system for fonts

Edit: I just double checked, and there isn't any 18+ fonts.

Support, because the current font selection is quite limited.

I have suggested something like this before, but I decided to make a new topic specifically about adding the fonts to Scratch 3.0. Plus, I couldn't find the old topic. :P

One of the most commonly suggested additions to Scratch is more fonts. The current amount of fonts that we have right now is just sad, and out of the six fonts we do have, only Helvetica and Scratch are really any good. This suggestion proposes to change that by adding Google Fonts to Scratch 3.0. This would give scratchers many, many more fonts to use, like Yatra One, Inconsolata, and Poppins.

But BookOwl, you say, wouldn't this put a lot of stain on the servers to store and serve all those fonts? Nope, because it would be Google's servers that would store and serve the fonts, not Scratch's.

But wouldn't this make the file size much larger? No, since Scratch would just request the font files from Google.

And for the final objection, wouldn't this be hard for the Scratch team to add? Actually, it would be quite simple to add to Scratch 3.0, since it is being made with JS and canvas, and it is pretty easy to add web fonts

Thank you for reading my suggestion, and please post any feedback you have.

Full support for this!!!!
