The file name has spaces, as does the family name. You need to ignore these when creating the font. Also as the layout is reloaded in page _resize (unless you turn it off) you need to re-apply the font there.

The font in the example was downloaded from here:http://www.dafont.com/28-days-later.font , please check the license if you want to use it.

Also as the layout is reloaded in page _resize (unless you turn it off) you need to re-apply the font there.

Note that the layout is not fully reloaded when the page is resized. Only views sizes and positions are set at that point. Other properties are ignored.

Only views sizes and positions are set at that point. Other properties are ignored.

Could you check this one please @Erel, the font does not appear on the label if it is applied in Application_Start. It does when moved to Page1_Resize.

Thanks

You are correct. There is a bug in AutoScaleAll that causes the designer font to be loaded. It will be fixed for the next update.

Note that you will still need to set the correct size in the designer.

I add this to Project Attributes

    #AppFont: tahoma.ttf

And Add this to seccond Process_Globals

    Dim ta15 As Font
    ta15 = Font.CreateNew2("tahoma",15)

And use in :

Sub Setone(p As Page, title As String)

    Dim tb As TabBarItem
    tb.Initialize(title,LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"a.png"), Null)
    tb.SetFont(ta15)
    tb.SetTitleOffset(0, 0)
    p.TabBarItem = tb
   
End Sub

1. Make sure to go carefully over the tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/custom-fonts.46461/
If you still see this error then please start a new thread and upload the font file.

Hi!

I'm using a custom font on B4i and I'm creating all the labels via code without designer.

I'm unable to let the createnew2 procedure works.

#AppFont: lcddot.ttf in the Project Attributes

later in the code

Label1.initialize("Label1")
Label1.Text = "Test"
Label1.TextColor = Colors.White
Label1.TextAlignment = Label1.ALIGNMENT_LEFT
Label1.Font = Font.CreateNew2("LCDDot",10)
MyPage.RootPanel.AddView(Label1, 0dip, 0dip, 100dip, 100dip)

doesn't work

if I use Label1.Font = Font.CreateNew(10) everything works fine.

Thank you.

 

[Erel]

Please start a new thread for this and upload the font file is possible.
