Can you use different Fonts for Android and iOS?  I believe custom fonts don’t work right now for android?  So I want to use different for different platforms.

Custom fonts do work for Android. You could pretty easily identify the device platform using platformName and call the corresponding font.

Thank you guys 

@Alex- do you know if .ttf fonts work or only .otf fonts or do they both work.

Also If I called the corresponding font by device platform can I do an if statement in build.settings or do I have to do it inside the code.lua?
