Change Fonts on One UI 8.5: WORKING Method 2026!
Samsung changed custom fonts on One UI 8 and One UI 8.5. If your Galaxy phone says “this font is not supported”, watch this before touching your font settings or updating again.
In this video I explain why zFont/Shizuku methods stopped working after the March 2026 patch, what still works, and the closest safe SF Pro-style option I found in the Galaxy Store.
The short version:
If you already applied your custom font before updating, don't touch your font settings.
If you're on a March 2026 or newer patch, assume non-root custom fonts are blocked.
If your phone shipped with One UI 8.5, Galaxy Store fonts are the safest route for now.
Root still exists, but I wouldn't recommend rooting a main Samsung phone just for fonts.
I also test a paid Galaxy Store font that gets close to the SF Pro look, show what LockStar, launchers, and Theme Park can and can't do, and explain why Shizuku is not a magic fix anymore.
Drop your phone model, One UI version, and Android security patch month in the comments. That will help everyone compare what still works on their exact device.
