I can't use the font I installed on my tablet

[Azerty]

Hello, I cannot use the font that I have installed on my tablet, a message appears indicating that it is impossible to import content
Reason: krita does not support this file format
The content is .zip or .ttf

You don’t import fonts into krita; it uses the fonts that are installed/registered and provided by the operating system.

If a font is available to the apps on your tablet, e.g. browsers, document editors, etc. then it should be available to krita.
Have you installed that font on your tablet so that all applications can use it?

In principle, this is correct, Krita uses the fonts an OS hands over to Krita, but Google is afraid of its evil users, especially when data, in this case fonts, are to be used across applications, the very few fonts installed for application A will work in application B when using Android.
You can only bombard Google with requests to change this, from thousands of users, otherwise nothing will happen at Google.

@Michelist

but Google is afraid of its evil users,

“Do no evil” used to be Google’s motto. Now it’s a command to its users and it’s backed up by paranoid levels of application separation and folder/file access permission limitations.

Thank you for that answer

[Azerty]

can I access the fonts by installing it on another search engine ?

[Michelist]

Google is not meant as the search-engine here!
Google is the company that builds Android. And because they had some severe security issues in the past, where, among other things, malware-code was injected via third-party applications and Google received harsh comments and was openly criticized, because of no adequate security mechanisms, Google decided to get better. Now, Android is more secure, but less user-friendly.

Maybe you want to read what I wrote about that today, in two postings in another topic that you’ll find here:

This is, in the end, the story of the cat, as an analogy to Google, chasing its own tail in order to catch it and be able to clean it. It takes some time for a cat to learn how to clean its tail without having to chase it first.
Applied to Google and Android, this means that Google should find a way to make Android both secure and user-friendly, and this does not seem to be easy. Literally speaking, it is “Squaring the circle!”, through fulfilling the expectations to make Android both: SECURE AND USER-FRIENDLY.

And to be honest, I myself prefer a secure operating system than one where I have to be afraid of being able to use the Internet, or other “places” outside my own sphere of responsibility (such as a network at a LAN party)!
But to make Google aware of the users demands, the users have to do what I already wrote above:
