How to add custom font for subtitles on Android 14?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to add a custom .ttf font for subtitles in Kodi, but since my device is running Android 14, I’m hitting a massive brick wall due to the new Scoped Storage restrictions.
On Windows, this is a 5-second job. But on Android 14, even if I use X-plore or Kodi's internal file manager to copy the font into the Kodi/media/Fonts directory, Kodi completely ignores it. When I go to Player > Subtitles > Font, the window is completely blank and only shows "Default DejaVu Sans"
I also checked the official Kodi repository under Look and feel > Fonts, but it’s completely useless for subtitles as it only contains skin-specific packages like Copacetic
Since we literally cannot access or write to the media folder anymore on Android 14, is there any workaround or a specific way to force Kodi to recognize custom subtitle fonts?
Any help would be appreciated!
