Adding Fonts

Hi its Creaticorn777 again. I was wondering if you (Scratch Team) could add more fonts such as my favorite: Courier New and others. The problem is the fonts that you guys have are a bit, generic. I was thinking you could add a few more fonts for a change, although you might've been somewhat troubled on how to do this, because I tried to import fonts from other websites, for example: Google Fonts. Well I can't seem to get it to work. So can you guys add an import font choice. Like you can make the import button, and it might show a small list of other fonts, like Courier New, Ink Free, and Old English Text. Those are three of my favorite. But if you can, please add a few!

P.S. You don't have to do it!

The import suggestion is a duplicate. Here is the link: Custom Fonts in Scratch Project Editor

For adding more fonts, I think that's a good idea. The costume editor has a really small amount of fonts, most of them generic and overused (except maybe Pixel).

1. Importing is very possible. FontGod has created a very easy tuturial about how to import Google Fonts onto Scratch.

2. I support the idea of adding new fonts. That might take a little while, since Scratch needs to get permission to use them. The ones I'd most want to see are Roboto, Pacifico, and Courier Code (basically Courier New, except less copyright issues)

Really? I've tried something similar before, and the font was not preserved, it just became Sans Serif.

I tried it with Inkscape and Google Drawings, and the Inkscape one reverted, but Google Drawings worked

-Couldn't some fonts be a distraction?
-Why would you use them? We have a standard font, but do we need any more?
-Couldn't some fonts be hard to read? I've seen plenty of those.
-What would be the purpose of having your own font?

Yeah they are cool, and the others are very generic in my opinion, we've had them for as long scratch was even here, and i was apart of it for a while.
My reasons for having new fonts is because
1. The ones we have are generic
2. they are kinda old
3. I'd like to see more and newer styles so i dont have to use the old ones
4. I love other fonts they bring out much more of a character
