I’ve unzipped files in my downloads and tried moving them, copying them, sharing them to my Drive but nothing seems to be working. I’m wanting to unzip fonts I’ve purchased and use them in My Docs. What am I missing here?
iPad Pro (6th generation)
You’ll not be able to install fonts from a downloaded zip-archive. Instead, iOS/iPadOS fonts are installed from third-party Apps downloaded from the Apple App Store.
The iPad User Guide provides information about adding fonts to your iPad. The Guide is a rich source of frequently overlooked information about your iPad and iPadOS. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

Here is a direct link to the relevant section of the Guide for adding fonts to your iPad:
Install and manage fonts on iPad - Apple Support
Many fonts are licensed - and as such require payment of a fee. Others are royalty free - and can be downloaded and installed without payment for their use. That said, many font-installer Apps may be a paid-App in their own right.
There are also Apps that include a font-installer - one being Adobe Creative Cloud:
https://apps.apple.com/app/adobe-creative-cloud/id852473028
This App allows you to install and use many Adobe and royalty-free fonts without charge; you simply need to have a free Adobe account - and be signed-in to your account to install fonts. The font-installation may need to be occasionally refreshed, but this is minor inconvenience for the benefit gained.
A popular (low-cost) third-party font installer App, often recommended within the Apple Support Community, is AnyFont:

You should be aware that while installed fonts are usable with many productivity Apps, this feature is by no means universal; Apps themselves must support installed fonts.
