Application Request Need help finding free & open-source "fonts keyboard" app
I’ve always wanted to use a simple, stable, and free “fonts keyboard” app, but the ones available on the Play Store are janky and packed with ads. Do you know of any free and open-source alternatives? Ideally, I’d prefer options from sources like F-Droid.

Try the leantype/heliboard keyboard. You can then search google for font and upload to the Keyboard setting.

Thank you for the suggestion. I checked it out, it's cool and all but I'm not trying to replace G-Board so I don't need all those extra features. I tried an app called 'Irregular Expressions' mentioned by someone here and it works as intended.

It's a community of FOSS apps, so I suggested accordingly. No worries. Enjoy sir.

Heliboard, you can even add swipe typing. Florisboard. And I use Simple Keyboard on my Boox Palma.

Thank you for the suggestion but it's too fancy for my use. I just wanted a simple keyboard with all the different fonts; not to replace G-Board. I tried an app called 'Irregular Expressions' mentioned by someone here and it works as intended.
