using Komika Axis font on Android

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I am trying to get Komika Axis to work on Android. It’s fine on iphone.

Have messed around with build.settings but then decided to just focus on a test program

txt1=display.newText(“txt1”,10,10,“Komika Axis”,20)
txt2=display.newText(“txt2”,10,40,“KomikaAxis”,20)
txt3=display.newText(“txt3”,10,80,“KOMIKAAXIS”,20)
txt4=display.newText(“txt4”,10,120,“KOMIKA_”,20)
txt5=display.newText(“txt5”,10,160,“KOMICA AXIS”,20)

txt1 and txt2 both work on Iphone without build.settings, but none work on Android.

Should I change to another font? Anyone familiar with this problem.

The filename is KOMIKA_.ttf
The fontname is Komika Axis

Have read many posts on forum about this, but still haven’t solved it.
Do I need the build.settings for Android?

Got it figured out.

Original file name was KOMIKA_.ttf
Original font name was “Komika Axis”

What works is
Changed file name to KomikaAxis.ttf (no space)
build.settings uses that file name
Changed Font name is KomikaAxis (also no space)

So it took a change to both the file name and font name to get it working in Android. Changes work for Iphone also.
