Problem with custom font?

Other
#1

Hey everyone,

I went through all the steps for using a custom font: I put the name of the file in the build.settings file, put the text file in my project folder, and the font even showed up in my terminal, when I did a print(v) of all the fonts. The custom font worked in the Corona Simulator. However, when I tested in the Xcode Simulator, the font does not show up. I have not tested on a device yet, but is this just a problem with Xcode? (I have been noticing lot of lag in Xcode compared to Corona Simulator as well).

Thanks for your help.

Can you post your build.settings file?

Also the font file name must match the embedded Font name and that must match (case signfiicant) what you’re using in the app.

Example:

myfontX2E.ttf – filename
My Font Regular – embedded font name

will fail because the font name and the embedded font name don’t match

My Font Regular – embedded font name
text = display.newText(“Some Text”, 0, 0, “my font regular”, 32)

will fail because the embedded font name and the name you used in Corona don’t match.

Android doesn’t like OTF files (though I thought a later build fixed that).
