Font problem with Galaxy store

I feel very frustrated and somewhat traumatised from trying to "contact" Samsung about an issue with a font on my mobile phone. The system seems designed to frustrate or simply thwart me - for example my S5 phone is not even listed in the drop-down items so I couldn't use email. 
I recently purchased a new font for my Tab A 10.1 from the Galaxy store. I was looking for a font called Georgia because it has serifs and also I find it's numbers clear and distinctive and I am a bit dyslexic.
No Georgia, but I found something suitable called "MT Signa Serif Pro Book Latin FlipFont".
[Why is the name that long? Don't ask...] This font works well for me on the Tablet and in particular has the Georgia-type treatment of numbers, ie some extend below the line which makes them much more distinct so I wanted to put the same font onto my Galaxy S5 phone. 
No can do. 
I searched using that font name in the Galaxy store and the closest it came up with is "MT Singel Std Regular Latin FlipFont" and this generally looks the same. For some reason the G store accessible on my phone does not have a type-a-line try out function so I couldn't see that the numbers did not have the same size variations before I bought it.

Let's just say I am less than impressed with the way this has turned out.

i would suggest trying the play store options, they have a few like Fonts Keyboard and HiFonts which work well on my phone, not sure bout S5 tho, since that is a bit of an older phone. gl!
