I have an issue with changing the font of a text zone in the QGIS composer.
I have downloaded Roboto font and want to use it in my composer instead of Arial black. After installation I quitted QGIS and relaunched it. The font is available in the font list yet when I apply it, it doesn't seems to be changing.
I'm running with QGIS 2.18.20 on a MacBook Pro Machine.
How can I handle this?
I see this is posted a while ago, but if anyone has a similar question:
QGIS uses the fonts that are installed on your computer. When you have downloaded the font, right-click the .otf file and select 'install'. When you close and open QGIS again, the font should be there.
Cheers!
Building off Laurens answer, on Mac, download the ttf or otf file. Put it in the folder /Library/fonts
Once you restart QGIS, you'll see the fonts in there. It seems like fontsquirrel tends to have these font downloads.
