iOS Question CustomView with integrated custom font

Filippo · Nov 15, 2024

Hi,

I would like to integrate a custom font into a CustomView (B4xlib-library) without having to use the “#AppFont:” attribute in the main module.
The custom font is available in the B4xlib-library under “..\File\Special”.
Is this possible? If so, how?

Thank you for the answer
Filippo

The library name should be Files\Special. I think that it will be copied correctly. Check it.

But you will need to add the #AppFont attribute.

Yes, that is correct. The library is copied twice, once under “..\File” for Android and once under “..\File\Special” for iOS.

I would find it better if this attribute were only added in the library, that would avoid errors.

It would be great if you could make it possible. ;-)

I have no programming experience with B4I, but in B4J and B4A I load a font via XUI program code from the assets file folder. See also [B4X] MaterialIcons Web Font Chooser

Possible B4X solution:

' Declare a variable for the custom font
Private CustomFont As B4XFont

' Initialize the font from the assets directory
CustomFont = xui.CreateFont(File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "CustomFont.ttf"), 16)

' Apply the font to a label
Label1.Font = CustomFont
