Further Font Kustomization
What kind of feature request is this?
Feature improvements – suggestions for something that can make a current feature a bit better. Totally new features – ideas for totally new features.
It would be convenient if we could upload fonts from our files and use them on NightTab such as OTF or TTF files
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. e.g. I'm always frustrated when...
Google does not have a lot of distinct or diverse fonts that stick out. Most of them are somewhat similar to others.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
add two additional buttons to the font section; one in "Display" and another in "User Interface" allowing users to upload fonts. OTF and TTF files in particular.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
And more websites for more diverse ways to choose fonts such as Adobe or DaFont

Re: #364
As with Local background image (wiki), the default consensus has been to not include a way to upload files since we have a limited storage.
Though, since fonts are pretty small, so long as both browsers support this we could make an exception for fonts (limiting them to 1 stored font).
If theres no parity, the fallback could be to host the adobe / dafont fonts you want in personal (public) repository. I've been doing this for a while for my nighttab icons. Followed by an implementation to support custom font urls.
Was that image photoshop or did you code that up? If code, feel free to pump out a PR contribution. It might speed up getting this feature in :)
ZombieFox is indeed busy atm (actually dm'd with him recently, can report that all is well. He's just traveling & busy with work). So this will probably be something for him to look at later.
I on the other hand am now also busy with a side project of my own so I can't commit to anything on nighttab, but I'll still help by replying to issues as I can. :)
Thanks for the feedback, I am unsure how you guys did the font feature with google unless it was some API stuff, If so I doubt we can do that with dafont but knowing adobe it might be possible, I am unsure if it is.
The photo wasn't photoshop, I just used inspect elements to delete and rewrite the text. I have little knowledge I coding
Cheers
I think this could be implemented by accessing local fonts like Monkeytype for example. This would make it so that storage doesn't have to be used up.

Yeah, that'd be possible.
