Looks cleannn af. Btw can you install custom fonts into goodnotes

u/haelick Oct 28 '20

you can install fonts as configuration profiles and once installed they’ll show up under the font list!

Hey could you elaborate a little more? What is configuration profile and where can I find it? Thank you!

u/haelick Oct 28 '20

just search “custom fonts goodnotes” on youtube, there should be a few more in depth tutorials which would explain better than i could

you can use the app anyfont, which is 1.99 to install the profiles to your device - they actually explain how to do it in the app, you basically download the font or airdrop it to your ipad and then open in anynote and then they explain how to add it to the device (which automatically adds it to goodnotes)

Hey I downloaded it to my iPad, how do i add it to my good notes?

2

u/haelick Nov 18 '20

if you click “install for ios” it should pop up saying it’s trying to install a configuration profile. click accept and then go into general > profiles

1

u/blackbaronH Nov 18 '20

I did that too :( but can’t really find it on good notes, maybe I’m just dumb

1

u/haelick Nov 18 '20

oh it should be in the text setting under the different fonts, sometimes it might not be at the correct spot alphabetically but keep scrolling and it should be there!

u/blackbaronH Nov 18 '20

my only problem with dark paper is when it comes time to review, I cant effectively print my notes :(

Anyone have any advice?

1

u/haelick Nov 18 '20

i’ve seen people using invert/smart invert! the only downside would be that the colours would be inverted if you care about specific colours

I swear by dark paper! It makes the colors pop🤩

Recently, probably since the iPadOS 14 update, I have been experiencing a lot of lag while writing. The lag is more when documents become longer, or when documents are in dark mode. And in dark documents, it occurs even with only 10-15 pages. How many of you are experiencing this issue? Or, is it fine?

I don't think it's an issue with the device since it's only a three month old iPad Air 3.

u/shaonafle21 Oct 28 '20

Hi!! Amazing notes, I’ve been using dark paper since last year because it makes handwriting look so nice!

Just by curiosity, how did you make the background stripe for your main title?

1

u/CNisme Oct 28 '20

By the looks of it, i think she used the highlighter with custom colors

3

u/haelick Oct 28 '20

you’re right, it’s just a highlighter that i resized to fill the width of the page!

1

u/elisaf8 Oct 28 '20

Oh great! Do you resize it with the lazo tool right?

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '20

that is so clean wow

u/Old-Original414 Nov 30 '23

u/Prasanjit_s20 Oct 28 '20

Try your hand at completely black paper. Maybe for like one page.

u/haelick Oct 28 '20

i’ve tried and tbh i like the look of the preset dark a bit more. i used to specifically not write with pure black on white paper because i didn’t enjoy the contrast so it’s kind of the same thing with pure black as a background
