## Review summary

Most reviews report functional problems with font packs, especially 1 and 3. Users say these packs don’t appear after installation, won’t work, or won’t open, with several noting issues on Samsung devices. Some packs (2, 4, and 5) apparently work for them, but others remain frustrated by missing fonts (e.g., Courier) and limited activation. A minority express positive sentiment toward Handcent, calling it ‘Awesome’ and saying they love the app, but overall the experience is inconsistent and installation/activation hurdles reduce usability.
