Hello Everyone,

I am using chinacat font in my application.

It works fine in simulator, but when i deploy it

on device it displays in normal font.

I am deploying it on android device and I have Windows 8.1.

Code:

local fontname=“chinacat”

texts = display.newText(word, 0, 0, fontname, fontsize)

Please help me out of this.

~Thanks
