What I would have expected is: *Barlow bold plain Then it would work as expected. >When I set the font of my stack to "Barlow", everything (bold or not) comes up >as Barlow Bold. >When I set the font of my stack to "Barlow Regular", everything (bold or not) >comes up as Barlow Regular. This is because the OS is seeing these as 2 different fonts. Are the results of FontInfo() on the IDE or the Android device? I have seen oddities like this when the internal font name is wrong/inconsistent or (for example)the regular version was created at a later date and the original name was "Barlow bold" and there was no other option than to name the new plain font to "Barlow regular". This would not allow them to operate as a family.

But, I don’t see how this helps. I have two fonts: Barlow-Bold.ttf Barlow-Regular.ttf After running FontInfo(), I see this: *Barlow Bold bold *Barlow Regular plain When I set the font of my stack to "Barlow", everything (bold or not) comes up as Barlow Bold. When I set the font of my stack to "Barlow Regular", everything (bold or not) comes up as Barlow Regular. Only thing I can think to do is to run thought EVERY object in my project and set the textFont of that control to "Barlow Bold" or "Barlow Regular". Then there's text fields with mixed text... Do I run through every text field and change the font of all bold text? There has to be a way to map "Barlow Regular" to plain text, and "Barlow Bold" to bold text. I must be missing something. -Dan On 8/27/19, 3:07 PM, "Ralph DiMola" <rdim...@evergreeninfo.net> wrote: When I run into this problem I use the routine below to enumerate all the fonts and their styles. If you have both a "Plain" and "Bold" style for a font then you use the font name and set its style to "Bold" If you use a "bold" base font then its "plain" style IS the bold font and setting its style to "Bold" will do nothing. function FontInfo local fnames,fstyles,tlist put the fontnames into fnames sort fnames repeat for each line tfnt in fnames put "*"&tfnt&cr after tlist put the fontstyles(tfnt,0) into fstyles repeat for each line tsty in fstyles put space & tsty & cr after tlist end repeat end repeat delete char -1 in tlist return tlist end FontInfo Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Dan Friedman via use-livecode Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2019 5:11 PM To: How to use LiveCode Cc: Dan Friedman Subject: Fonts on Android Greetings! I am able to get a custom font installed and running on a Android device. But, how do you handle the font family? Included in my app is "myfont-Regular.ttf" and "myfont-bold.ttf". When the app launches, I call: set the textFont of stack "main" to "myfont" It's only using the bold version (probably because it's first alphabetically). Is there a way to map a font to a style so that text is " myfont-Regular" and bold text is "myfont-bold"?
