Android Font .otf Problem/Bug?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’ve made a couple Android apps before that have custom fonts in them (always ttf), but now for my new app that I’m making, I’ve got an .otf font that won’t work. It just loads the default font instead. The .otf font works everywhere else (simulator, iOS), just not on Android. I’ve tested with a completely different ttf font and then it loads perfectly, so it must be something with how Android handles .otf fonts.

Someone mentioned renaming the .otf to .ttf in another thread on here, but that didn’t work.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try using this to convert the font to ttf. http://www.freefontconverter.com/

I have never used an otf font, but from a google search i hear android has problems with them. Also make sure the font is in the root directory [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 23539 reply_id: 94465[/import]

Thanks Danny. Tried that, and still no luck. Yup, its in the root directory. Is it possible that its a Corona bug? Android is supposed to work with otf fonts for a while now. Either way, the ttf font doesn’t work either.

Here’s the font (original otf) for anyone that would like to try it:
