Compatibility Notice: Total Launcher does not natively support multi-face `.ttc` (TrueType Collection) font files. Individual `.ttf` or `.otf` font files must be individually extracted before assigning them to text objects inside Total Launcher.
A `.ttc` file is a container housing multiple font styles and weights (e.g., Light, Regular, Bold, Italic) in a single file to save space. Because Total Launcher utilizes standard Android `Typeface` pickers without an internal font-index selection interface, pointing directly at a `.ttc` file usually results in:
Before opening Total Launcher, unpack the `.ttc` collection into standalone font files using one of the following methods:
FontName-Regular.ttf, FontName-Bold.ttf).
Best Practice: Create a dedicated font directory on the device (e.g., /Internal Storage/Fonts/) to keep your custom `.ttf` files organized and easily accessible during layout builds.
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Font renders as system default | Total Launcher cannot parse the `.ttc` header. | Unpack into `.ttf` prior to selecting in TL. |
| Bold and Italic look identical | Only one weight face was assigned. | Extract all weights separately and assign each specific `.ttf` file per style. |
| File not visible in file picker | Storage permission restriction or wrong extension. | Ensure file extension is `.ttf` or `.otf` and is stored in user-accessible storage. |
