Out of curiosity, how does this work for Perspective? ---

Disclaimer: this may not work for all fonts (especially custom, licensed font packages). I will be using the popular Poppins font as an example, but I believe the process will be similar if not the same for other font fam… Note that this process is going to be somewhat different in 8.3; at minimum the locations of files will be different.
