How to Add Bengali Font Support in CapCut App

Hi,

Here’s a clear step-by-step guide to adding Bengali (Bangla) fonts in CapCut on your mobile device:

Step 1: Download a Bengali Font

• Find reliable sources: Look for websites that offer free or paid Bengali fonts. Some popular options include:
  • Lipighor (লিপিঘর): A great resource for free Bengali fonts.
  • OmicronLab: Another good source for Bangla fonts.
  • Google Fonts: While you might not find a huge dedicated Bengali section, you can sometimes find good Unicode Bengali fonts here.
  • Other font websites: Many websites offer free fonts; just make sure they are compatible and have good reviews.
• Font format: Ensure the fonts you download are in a format CapCut supports, .ttf (TrueType Font) or .otf (OpenType Font). These are the most common and widely supported formats.
• Unzip the file: Most downloaded font files will be in a .zip folder. You'll need to unzip (extract) them to get the actual .ttf or .otf font files.

Step 2: Convert Text (Optional, for certain fonts)

Some users convert their Bengali text using a Unicode-to-Bijoy converter before adding it to CapCut. If your font uses standard Unicode, you can skip this step.

Step 3: Add the Font in CapCut

For Mobile (Android/iOS):

1. Open CapCut and start a new project or open an existing one.
2. Go to the Text option.
3. Tap Add text.
4. Type your Bengali text (you'll need a Bengali keyboard enabled on your device).
5. In the text editing options, look for the Font section.
6. You should see an "Add font" or "Import font" button (often a "+" icon). Tap on it.
7. This will open your device's file manager. Navigate to where you saved your downloaded and unzipped Bengali font files (.ttf or .otf).
8. Select the Bengali font file you want to import.
9. The font should now be available in your "My Fonts" or "Imported Fonts" section within CapCut.

For PC (Windows/Mac):

1. Install the font on your computer's system first.
   • Windows: Right-click on the .ttf or .otf font file and select "Install."
   • Mac: Double-click the font file and click "Install Font" in the Font Book application.
2. Restart CapCut after installing the font. This is crucial for CapCut to recognize the newly installed system font.
3. Open CapCut and start a new project or open an existing one.
4. Go to the Text option and add a default text layer.
5. In the text editing panel, click on the Font dropdown.
6. Scroll down to the "System Fonts" section. Your newly installed Bengali font should appear in this list, usually in alphabetical order.
7. Select your desired Bengali font and apply it to your text.

Best Practices & Tips

• Stick with Unicode Bangla fonts for maximum compatibility.

• If text looks off, try converting it via a Unicode-to-Bijoy tool.

• Imported fonts are saved within CapCut, so you only need to repeat once per device.

Important Notes:

• Unicode vs. ANSI: Most modern Bengali fonts are Unicode, which is generally better for digital use as it ensures proper character rendering and compatibility across different platforms. Stick to Unicode fonts if possible.
• Troubleshooting:
  • If the font doesn't appear, double-check that you've installed it correctly on your system (for PC) or imported it properly (for mobile).
  • Make sure the font file is not corrupted.
  • Restarting CapCut often resolves issues with newly added fonts.
  • Ensure you have a Bengali keyboard enabled on your device to type in Bengali within CapCut.
• Legality: Always ensure you have the necessary licenses for any fonts you download and use, especially for commercial projects. Many free fonts are available for personal and commercial use, but it's always good to check the licensing information.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully add and use Bengali fonts in your CapCut projects to create engaging videos.
