*Text Font Idea for Scratch 3.0*

funnyplanet

I have an idea for Scratch 3.0, and i'd like to get it as a discussion suggestion.

The idea is simple: Customized Downloaded text fonts.

We will be able to use OUR own text fonts in a game you are creating any time as long as you upload the text font you have downloaded to scratch for use.

This would make a great idea for us to use our own text fonts we downloaded from the internet to use without needing to go to a program and make the text and then just publish it to scratch as a picture to use, this is much more helpful to me because it is ONE less bazillion clicks.

This scenario might be rare, but:
What if the font that someone downloads is inappropriate?

Yeah, what if? In this case, no support.

Also, you can already do this. Use Google Drawings, place text, download as SVG, export it onto a scratch costume.

You cannot trust any of my posts because I am dumb. Some may be right, though.

Ya but that is still another source and is very annoying to me, how is this not going to get any support because if a text font that someone downloads is “inappropriate”, how can a “text font” be inappropriate just by its own looks?

I don't think a text font YOU download can be inappropriate, can it…?? I thought not.

I only think a text font is inappropriate if you use it the WRONG way by making it into a swear word or something bad and harmful to others, otherwise it CAN be used for appropriate content.

When making a font, you draw whatever you want for the characters. It is possible to make a something inappropriate, or make the number one a swear word.

Semi-support, but maybe instead they should let you pick from the fonts on Google Drive so that it just shows approved fonts. Either that, or you should be allowed to get your font approved like you can get your website approved.
Although it's fairly rare for a font to be inappropriate, it could still potentially happen, so I suppose that's the best option.
