Adding your own fonts in Sketchware

Sketchware allows you to add your own custom fonts. You can get these from sites like 1001freefonts and others. These usually come in .ttf and are fairly small. When you've downloaded your font click here 👇

Click and open the menu on the top right corner of your project screen. 

Locate font option in menu


Select font

Navigate to where the downloaded font is stored on your device.

rename font


Now that the font is in Sketchware, I want to choose which text appears in that font. If I want it to appear in the specified font when the app starts and that is achieved using the setTypeface block. I will  put my logic in *onCreate* or *onStart*. If, however, I want that font to appear when a specific condition is met, I can place it on that specific event. For example, *onButtonClick*, *onTextChanged* or in an *IF-ELSE* block. For this tutorial i will place the block *onCreate*
Change font block
This will display my text in the specified format.

Cybersecurity Essentials: How To Stay Safe On The Internet

  Hi there, my name's Likhwa and welcome to Building Africa's Next Tech Unicorn. on this platform I give a behind the scenes look at what it takes to build a startup within the African context. In today's video, I'll be doing something different- I'll be talking about how you can stay safe online.
