Hi.
Thanks for the answer, I read that posting, but i was wondering
if this i a thing that can be tested in the Designer ?

I'm afraid that it is not "yet" possible in the Designer.
You need to do by code, I had tried it, it works

Best regards.

Hi.
Still struggling, either it me, or its the documentation,
Im trying to change the typeface to something called segment.ttf
in the doc it says:

Loads a font file, that was added with the file manager.
Example:
Dim MyFont As Typeface
MyFont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("MyFont.ttf")
EditText1.Typeface = MyFont

seems simple enough, but how this is done it don't' say,
Does it mean the file tab in the right corner, or another file manager??
Have tried that, but not able to load any ttf file...

As your font file is : segment.ttf

You must use this code:

Dim MyFont As Typeface
MyFont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("[COLOR=red]segment.ttf[/COLOR]")
EditText1.Typeface = MyFont

Attached the small test program I used with the times.ttf font file.

Best regards.

Hi.
Thanks for your time and answer,
I also found out that the TTF's must be located in
the files folder of the app..



Thanks

It is recommended to add the file from the IDE (Files tab in the right pane - Add Files).
