Description

Describe your suggested feature

You should be able to select a custom font directory or perhaps use the download directory. Due to the way android storage works you can not access the default internal application directory to upload fonts to. Either that or just remove the message about using custom fonts and not supporting that at all.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current subtitles font configuration in the app; find where the font directory is hardcoded or read from preferences. Look into Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) to allow users to pick a custom directory. Consider adding a preference setting and using document URI to persist the chosen directory.
