The Naasioi (Otomaung) font is installed from two .ttf files. These are:
- Otomaung.ttf (uppercase, lowercase and numerals)
- OtomaungBold.ttf (ornamental register)
Click on the hyperlinks above to download these two files to your computer or phone.

Using the Naasioi (Otomaung) font on an iOS phone or device
A procedure for installing fonts on iPhone devices is here. My phone is too old to get the free iFont app, so I have downloaded AnyFont which costs AUD$2.99 but is very easy to use.
Here are the instructions for AnyFont based on my own experience:
- Download the ttf fonts above and put them in a Dropbox folder
- Install AnyFont
- Click on the + sign and then choose ‘Dropbox’
- Set up Dropbox for the app
- Navigate through the app to the dropbox folder and install the two fonts
… at this point I get stuck, which might still be because I am on an iPhone 5s running iOS12.4.9 and it’s just too archaic to handle different fonts. I would love to be able to send a text message in Otomaung so if anyone has any luck, please leave a comment.
