Using custom font with variants.

[staroflead]

How can I use font's variant like light, bold,italic?
Can I use textStyle attribute and set only font family to able to use all 4 variants?
And how can I reuse default font arial after I have init the config in application onCreate() ?

It's an old requested feature see #195

Need to work out a way to build Typeface Families.

The MeetMe/font-compat project does this automatically on Lollipop+. And there's a workaround that works for KitKat and earlier, with some style tweaks.

That font-compat is complicated to use. But I'll take how he generates font
families.

Thanks for linking.

Complicated because of the way the families are parsed? It mirrors the way that the Android platform configures font families, which means if/when Android ever exposes that capability, it will likely mirror that style of configuration: https://github.com/MeetMe/font-compat/blob/master/sample/src/main/res/raw-v19/fonts.xml

Hey guys,
Did anyone get a fix for this?

[staroflead]

I use seperated fontpath for each variant. Unfotunately, it's currently the only way.

[chrisjenx]

I actually have found a better way to do this. :D

Please enlighten us :)

Very similar to the font manager mechanism. But I think I'd always do it as
third party attribute and pull out the text Style at the same time.

Basically the best of both worlds, font compat plus Calligraphy :D
