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!

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.

I found a solution, just make a copy of your design and convert everything to path and it will display correctly.

add one more to this list. Im trying to get spacing and weight correct and without the correct preview font displayed Im unsure how the results appears on the device

Why is this even an issue, should be basic knowledge that designers use more then the pre-installed fonts on an iOS device. Or was the idea that all designers using XD should use the default iOS fonts for all their clients?

This would be a huge help! I'm thinking of turning the fonts into PNG just to have them display as images. Please don't make me have to spend hours doing that.

Is there any way to install Material Icon font on Android device in order to be rendered in XD mobile preview?

This was flagged as 'under review' in February 2017 -- has there been any movement in the interim 2.5 years? This is not a 'nice to have' feature but a workflow essential that contributes significantly to the calculus of XD's viability as a professional design tool

This is essential for my workflow. My company operates in an Android-dominated market, and uses proprietary typefaces. Currently there's no way for our partners to accurately view mobile prototypes without either compromising the fonts or grabbing an iPhone and installing the fonts themselves. Disappointing.
