I know this, but i don't know how use XUI Font and if is possibile to use same code. Obviously in b4i we need to declare apps font as wrote in tutorial

Moved to B4i forum.

Sorry for mistake

The first step is to load the B4i Font with Font.CreateNew. You can then convert it to a B4XFont with:

Dim xfont As B4XFont = xui.CreateFont(Font, 16)

So there is not a general load from assets.. i need something like this?

    #If b4a
    Public SansSemibold As B4XFont= xui.CreateFont(Typeface.LoadFromAssets("SourceSansPro-Semibold.otf"), 16)
    #else if b4i
    Public SansSemibold As B4XFont= xui.CreateFont(Font.CreateNew2("SourceSansPro-Semibold", 30), 16)
    #end if

Yes.
It might be added in the future, though there are several nuances here such as the file name vs. the font name.

Remember that XUI library doesn't replace the native libraries. It is intended to work together.
