Hi

Is there a typeface object in b4i? If so, can I please get an example of usage please?

Thanks a lot.

You are looking for the Font object.

lbl.Font = Font.DEFAULT_BOLD

lbl.Font = Font.DEFAULT_BOLD

I wanted to use FontAwesome like this..

'Initialize the Typeface.
Dim myFont AsTypeface
myFont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("fontawesome.otf")
'Add the FontAwesome typeface to your view.
Label1.Typeface = myFont
'Select the icon you want to display
Label1.Text = Chr(61481)

Is this possible with B4i to do something like that?

I couldnt exactly understand what you are asking after Erel's response but first you have to put

#AppFont: ethnocentricrg.ttf

under project attributes. later you can use

lblilkekran.Font = Font.CreateNew2("EthnocentricRg-Regular", 20)

The name of the font must be exactly same with the one when you double click on the font .

Can we set bold and italic at the same time without loading custom fonts (basically something similar to the above code )
