How to add a custom font (OTF, TTF) to iDraw for MAC

If you can't find a custom font in your iDraw for Mac here are some simple instructions on how to do it. In my example I was trying to download a google font Ubuntu.
  1. Download and install Skyfonts http://www.fonts.com/web-fonts/google.
  2. Once you install Skyfonts, access it via the top toolbar on your Mac.
  3. Click on the Cloud Service to search for your font (in my case I chose Google Fonts). 
  4. Add the required font.  (I chose Ubuntu regular). 
  5. In the main menu, select the font you just added, and click on "Reveal font in Finder". 
  6. Now copy the font file eg. Ubuntu regualr.ttf to your fonts directory \Library\Fonts\ directory.
  7. The new font will now appear in iDraw.
