Still we can't use custom fonts (true type) on Android?

Matriax · October 15, 2013 at 12:14 PM

Searching i found this thread:
Please login to see this link.

The unique option i see is the final example usin one active for each character.

One of the guys says:
"custom fonts would be placed in the /assets/fonts folder of the project."

With the experience of OUYA i edited the RuntimeAndroid.zip and created the folder /fonts in the /assets directory to include the .ttf files.

The code compile without problems but still the game is using the system font. And yes, i disabled the box "Use system font in text objects"

Edit1: Added the files also in the /assets main directory and still not work

Is any way to use truetype fonts (.ttf) in Android?

It will be released this year from what I've heard (I think it was announced at ClickConvention), so don't worry about it taking too long too much.

Fusion 2.5 released, buyed and downloaded.

I added the fonts in the "binary data" but not works in OUYA, what i need to do to use the custom fonts on Android?

to use fonts the fonts should be added using an extension called "android fontpacker", it will be available in short term.

Sorry for the bump, but it's been almost 1 month. Like others, I would like to use custom fonts on Android.

I have a question. Will custom fonts work with Fusion text objects (String, Counter etc..)? Or will we need to use an Android specific object?

Matriax · May 2, 2014 at 2:14 PM

I hope the same events to show the fonts/texts work also for Android to not do something different for the Android version, the opposite will be a shame .

you will define a font to be use in regular objects
