Android Question Custom Fonts issues

MitchBu · Nov 2, 2016

I am trying to apply what looks like rather straighforward instructions in Erel's tutorial at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/custom-fonts.46461/

- I copied the fonts into Files\Special

2. Add the #AppFont attribute for each font file (including the extension):

Where should I add this ?

B4X:

#AppFont: Calebasse.ttf
#AppFont: Zz.ttf

I tried in Project Attributes, but I get an error "Attribute not supported:appfont"

Then this

B4X:

Label1.Font = Font.CreateNew2("Calebasse", 30)

triggers : "Undeclared variable 'font' is used before it was assigned any value"

What am I doing wrong ?

That tutorial is for B4iOS.
For Android is different.
See this https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-to-make-custom-font-bold.69888/#post-446780

B4X:

Dim FontName As Typeface
FontName = Typeface.CreateNew(Typeface.LoadFromAssets("libertysans.ttf"), Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)
Label1.Typeface = FontName

Oh gosh. I should have read the title more carefully. Sorry.

Thank you LucianDesign
