+# How to install mengshen font on Android
+The method using zFont is compatible with Galaxy, LG, HUAWEI, vivo, Honor, OPPO, and Xiaomi devices. However, there are some apps that don't support homographs or are not fully compatible.
+
+If you want to enable homographs or change the font in apps that don't support zFont(e.g. lock screen's clock / chrome), you can use the Magisk module.
+
+## MIUI
+I confirmed on Redmi Note 9S (MIUI 12).
+1. Install and launch zFont.

+
+2. Go to the LOCAL tab and press the button in the bottom right.  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_1.png" width="200"/>
+
+3. Choose Mengshen-HanSerif.ttf or Mengshen-Handwritten.ttf and check it.  
+(Note: In the screenshot, Mengshen-Handwritten.ttf is renamed to mengshen.ttf)  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_2.png" width="200"/>
+
+4. After verifying the font, press the SET button.  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_3.png" width="200"/>
+
+5. Click on Xiaomi(MIUI).  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_4.png" width="200"/>
+
+6. Click on Method3.  
+(Note: Don't choose Method4. For some reason, it seems the font doesn't change.)  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_5.png" width="200"/>
+
+7. When the dialog appears, click OK.  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_6.png" width="200"/>
+
+8. You will be automatically redirected to the theme app.
+
+9. Select the theme with "(Apply me)" in its name.  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_7.png" width="200"/>
+
+10. Press the apply button.  
+Now you should see the pinyin font. If it doesn't change, try restarting.  
+<img src="../imgs/install2android/picture_8.png" width="200"/>
+
+Now, you can read comments with pinyin in apps like Weibo and TikTok!

+
+## Magisk Module (requires root)
+It seems that from Android 10(Q), the EXT4 dedup filesystem was introduced, which prevents mounting in RW mode. However, it appears that the system area can still be modified as a Magisk module.
+I confirmed on Redmi Note 9S (MIUI 12).
+
+You can download the Magisk module ZIP file from [here](https://github.com/MaruTama/magisk-module-mengshen-font/releases) and install it using Magisk Manager. ([Source code is here](https://github.com/MaruTama/magisk-module-mengshen-font))
+
+For installation instructions, refer to [How to install Magisk modules on a rooted Android phone](https://www.androidpolice.com/install-magisk-rooted-android/).
