Embed fonts for 'untethered' mobile preview from Creative Cloud
Would be nice if fonts were embedded into the XD file. If not you aren't able to preview the app design with the correct font from iOS or android when syncing from creative cloud.

This is something we’re currently investigating. Stay tuned!

+1. We can not test prototype with special branding fonts that we have used in design. This feature needs to be added first before even making it starter pack and upgraded pack versions.

Please please, don’t forget this. It’s so helpful and just makes sense!

Design software that doesn't render fonts ????? Come one guys, I expect to see this fixed if you want to compare to Figma etc.

So over 3 years on... how's the investigation going? Painfully slow, from my perspective...

This is a very needed feature. When I open my cloud docs on mobile, it shows default fonts.
This is really an important feature and will make things more portable and easy to share. -

When either in live preview (connected to a Mac) or in the cloud documents prototype preview on the iOS app, certain font weights w/ letter spacing stop rendering w/ the selected font family and instead default to some sort of system font. This makes presenting and demoing things in a finished styled state difficult, especially if the default font adjusts line breaks/spacing, etc.

its been 3 years. XD should incorporate it already. I would love to migrate from Sketch(Invision/Marvel) to XD, but i cant let other preview from their own device.

Yes please! I am trying to move entirely to XD without invision, but that simply won't be possible unless the team can test the prototype with the correct fonts showing.

Wow it's like such an obvious and critical part of the flow for the entire product. Like without it... 4.5/10 with it... maybe 8.5/10? Seriously such a joke that they aren't paying more attention to this. 5 months tops for even an enterprise like Adobe to set up an auto 'convert to path' function for all fonts in a file being sent to the iOS XD App

I don't know why you even HAVE a preview on device feature without proper font support. Converting to path is a very slow and cumbersome manual process. FIX THIS.

@Demianborba It has been over 3 years investigating now and this crippling font issue still remains unresolved. I will not use Xd going forward because it doesnt work. It would have been nice to have the Adobe cloud functionality Xd provides, but not at the expense of lack of critical functionality and a manufacturer with zero will to resolve it.

Also...someone UPDATE US PLEASE. How can a feature this important be under review for 3 years?

This would be ESPECIALLY helpful if, like me, you prefer to use icon fonts VS svgs. Makes handing off to devs easier and I can more realistically mock things up as they would appear on the web.
