How do I load a file into "LoadFromAssets"

[bobsteamer]

LoadFromAssets (FileName As String) As android.graphics.Typeface

Loads a font file, that was added with the file manager.

Unfortunately I have been unable to find details on how to add a font to the "Assets":

a) how do I load a font into the emulator?

b) Can I embed the font in my application for the real world or would the user have to load the font him/herself?

1) Add the file to the file list in the Files tab (right pane).

Can I embed the font in my application for the real world

2) Yes, there is no problem with including your own font file in your project.

Outstanding! This was one of those issues I was worried about.

Please have a look at this example clock... It includes a ttf-font to display the time
