Bug? B4XView Font copy issue when non-default typeface is select in Android Settings

[Alessandro71]

as described in this thread, copying Font from existing B4XView Label, gives strange result

Changing the system font shows Material Icons label with Chinese-like chars

I need to create a label by code, by cloning an existing label, which uses Material Icons font. Here is how it looks: the grey icon is the original label, while the red one is the clone if I set the system font to anything else than the default (SamsungOne in this example) the cloned icon...

Since copying the B4XFont from the original to the new fails to copy the IsMaterial or IsFontwesome info,
I would agree that this may be bug.

Can you upload a small project that reproduces it?

it's in the first message of the original thread
be aware that the issue happens only when the system font is changed in the Android settings on a Samsung phone (I haven't checked on other brands)

I tested it with this.

My test devices don't have the option to change the default font.

Please post:
1. A screenshot.
2. Logs if there is anything relevant.
3. Output of:

Log($"lbl: ${Lbl.Font}, newlbl: ${newLblx.Font}"$)

Code in #5 unchanged. In both font cases, the label B4XFonts point to different objects. In the DefaultFont case it shows the icon, in the SamsunOne font case it shows the unicode.

    Log($"lbl: ${Lbl.Font}, newlbl: ${newLblx.Font}"$)
    '(SamsungOne} lbl: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.B4XViewWrapper$B4XFont@1828f4f, newlbl: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.B4XViewWrapper$B4XFont@25b46dc
    '(DefaultFont) lbl: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.B4XViewWrapper$B4XFont@a9a0e29, newlbl: anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.B4XViewWrapper$B4XFont@9eb5ae
