Displaying Downloaded Fonts Onto Android Device

I would like to use a particular font. I have the .ttf file ready to go. I read on some forums that to allow the font to appear, you have to place the .ttf file into the main directory of the project, and that is all you need to do. I have done that, yet the font still does not display in the simulator! Please help.

Thanks.

Isiah.

For it to appear in the Simulator, you also have to actually install the font on your computer (like you would install any other font).

I installed the font @aukStudios and yes, it did show up, but only on my computer. When I build it and run it on the phone, it still does not show correctly.

OK.  If you haven’t already, I’d suggest trying the tips in #2 in the blog post I pasted above.
