Gboard is another smashing hit from Google. It is currently a favorite among Android users due to the rich opportunities of the application. This includes predictive text, swipe typing, and voice commands. These features contribute to making typing during the performance of daily tasks much faster and more natural. The Gboard beta version is now bringing a new feature that is popular among users – a Limited Font Switcher. This update aims to enhance the user interface's personalization since users can use the font style of text within the keyboard. 

This feature is still in beta. However, it already makes it possible to type messages, notes, or social network statuses more personalized. The font switcher has few options available, but it suggests what more there could be when these updates come. By allowing users to change fonts to go to other apps, Gboard is extending its goal of becoming an all-in-one keyboard.

The Limited Font Switcher

The beta release allows customers to try out only a handful of fonts. The first version lets the user change between a few fixed fonts to understand how the application works.

The number of available fonts may differ slightly between the beta version and the app's final version. However, users should be provided with an extensive selection. Serif and sans-serif fonts are on the list. As you can imagine, this is a limited choice, and the final edition will have more fonts.

User Experience

Users can usually find the font switcher in the Gboard beta app. They tap the language button—usually a globe icon—and open the ‘Fonts’ menu. This will display a list of available fonts so that the users can make their desired choice. After this selection, the new font will be active instantly on the keyboard layout chosen.

The capacity to choose the font used for typing can also make a big difference in the user experience. The orientations of the specific font the users prefer will lead to a more attractive one. Further, choosing an appropriate font type also enhances typing speed and efficiency and solves the problem of tiredness of eyesight.
