As the BETA program of Android Oreo 8.1 brought some of the significant changes over existing Android 8.0 Oreo. Also, you can make some of the primary changes, and you will get the new font with the developer preview. So, many of you have a question that what is the new font so, the new font is Google Sans Font. These fonts are extracted directly from the system images.
As they are repacked into the suitable files for installing. Now, you can install Android 8.1 Oreo with the Google Sans Fonts on your respective device. One thing I would like to clear is that new Google Sans Fonts are working on Android 5.0 Lollipop onwards as well as Android 8.0 Oreo. Also, the fonts are working fantastic on Android such a Stock Android, Custom ROM’s you name it.
However, the Google Sans Fonts are compatible with MIUI 8 as well as MIUI 9. Also, those who are running Magisk and Substratum on their devices can also change their Lock screen fonts (now that’s something crazy you will love it). A big appreciation for the development of Elmkzgirxp for enabling this modification. Today we will show you how can you change font of any of the custom ROM whether it can be MIUI, ASOP, Lineage OS 14, Lineage OS 15 and Stock ROM. First, you have to download a flashable zip file of new fonts that Google released in the Android Oreo 8.1. The font is available for all of the Custom ROM’s.
