Uploading your own font to Scratch
This is a (pretty) simple suggestion, so I won't understand if this suggestion gets rejected.
(You can skip this part) So a few days ago in https://scratch.mit.edu/classes/366991/ when I was working in another platform besides Scratch, and trying to create a text editor like notepad. “You don't need a lot of fonts,” my teacher said. “Like on Scratch, it has a few fonts but it still works.” I kept thinking about Scratch, though.
(Don't skip this part) It's quite likely that someone has already said that there are very little fonts in Scratch, and I agree. But instead of actually having Scratch add more fonts, I suggest that Scratch add a upload button (like drag and drop) to add TTF-s to Scratch and use them.
It'll be so cool, useful, and more accessible!
Definition: TTF means TrueType font, or a kind of font file used to add your own readable font.

No it isn’t, the suggestion is to have the ability to type in the Scratch editor using different fonts. Your workaround is typing the font somewhere else and downloading the text. I don’t think it works like that, but I’m not sure

First of all, not everyone knows how to do that (and I know most of the features of Scratch, so that doesn't include me)This is a (pretty) simple suggestion, so I won't understand if this suggestion gets rejected.uh you could just import the font itself into scratch by saving the image then importing into scratch its that simple

Second of all, uploading won't work if you need enough text to make an FPC

I mean if you really wanted a kind of font I say pull it off from a website then type the whole alphabet (lowercase or Uppercase if need) then import into scratch as is then you could edit the letters to make a message or you could use clone based/pen based engine so you can use your new font as easy but I understand if it may be more hard for new scratchers also please don't make your suggestion vague is not helpful at all
