custom fonts not displaying on device

my custom fonts I downloaded work on the corona simulator but not on my device

hey Max if you are making an app for  andoid on corona sdk (windows) you could  simply download  a costom font from the web and install it to your windows meachine and then drag the font into your project file.  hop this helps

Try dragging the font file into your project folder.

For Mac, you need to install the fonts on your system. Double click on the font file and the Font Book app will install the font. There is nothing added to the  build.settings  file for Mac.

For the simulator, the font must be installed in the the operating system.  On iOS devices you do need to include code in your build.settings, like

            UIAppFonts =
            {
                “actionj.ttf”,
                “oogieboogie.ttf”,
                “SAF.ttf”,
                “curlycue.ttf”,
                “Grease.ttf”,
                “grinched.ttf”,
            },

Android just needs the files in the folder with main.lua.   All of this is clearly documented in the blog post listed above.
