If you haven’t already, determine what font you want to install. Then, download the installation files and locate them on your computer.

Need help finding that font?

Here are a couple of pointers to help you find the right font.

Determining a font

If you’ve found an awesome font somewhere, but you don’t know its name—then see our guide to find out what font is being used.

Serif or Sans Serif?

What does that even mean? Good news! We’ve got guides to show you the differences between serif and sans serif fonts and help you pick the right one!

Places to download fonts

There are a variety of websites that offer free fonts legally. Here are just a few:

• Google Fonts
• DaFont
• 1001 Free Fonts
• Urban Fonts

While there are many other sites with free fonts, I’d be careful with any site that does not feel legit or asks for your information.

Windows 10 users can double-click the font to begin the installation process. The OS will walk you through completing the install.

For MacOS users, you’re in luck. We have a complete guide to adding fonts on a Mac that you can follow. In short, you need to open the Font Book app and choose Add Font to start the installation. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

If Illustrator was open during the font installation, close it.

Open Illustrator and choose your font from the font list.

If your font still isn’t listed, you may need to restart your machine.

If it still doesn’t appear, try using a different font to see if the issue persists.

Identify which layers you want to merge and select them from the layer window. To choose multiple layers at once, hold Ctrl and left click on the layer you want to be merged.

Right-clicking won’t open the options menu we need as it does in Photoshop. With Illustrator, instead, click on the menu icon in the upper-right corner of the Layers window box.

Choose Merge Selected from the list. Any selected layers will be combined into one.

If you want to undo merge, you have to act fast. The more actions you take like drawing lines, moving layers, etc will add to the edit history of your document. You can only undo recently made changes.

User Ctrl + Z to undo the merge.

Without serious modification, the GPi has no externally-accessible USB data port; thus, you can’t easily use a wired USB controller.

For this reason, I recommend a Bluetooth controller — however, this assumes that you’re using the bluetooth-enabled Raspberry Pi Zero W, not the “normal” Pi Zero. The normal Zero does not support bluetooth.

Choosing a Wireless Bluetooth controller

For wireless controllers, I recommend the 8BitDo SF30. It contains a ton of buttons, has a long battery life, undetectable input lag, and is super affordable.

Connecting a Bluetooth controller

After updating your controller’s firmware, you can access Bluetooth device config in RetroPie Setup. I wrote a complete guide on adding Bluetooth controllers in RetroPie. Use that guide for step-by-step instructions on setting up your GPi Bluetooth controller.
