Hello, when I try to use some of the pixel fonts I have downloaded some of then turn into ‘system default fonts’ as if by magic and then fail to work, the ones that work like the FFF fonts don’t turn into ‘system default fonts’. Is there any way to stop my fonts becoming system default fonts, and would this ensure they dont muck up?
