I am trying to add a text title to a photo. I touch the text button but all is blank. I have reset, and tried styles, but nothing works.

do I have to install fonts before I can use the text button.

help.

No special font installation is required.  Many are available without having to do that (although, of course, you can install specific fonts if required).

When you touch and hold the text tool button, you get the choice of two tools: Art Text and Frame Text.  You can see the choices at the bottom left of the first screenshot.

Once selected (I used the Frame Text option), you can drag out a frame and enter text, which can then be formatted, as shown next.  You can see the frame is selected in the Layers panel.

Hope this helps?
