I have an Android app that uses a custom font. I just dropped the ttf file
into the Copy Files pane of standalone settings and issued "start using
font file" in a preOpenStack handler. Seems to work fine. Easy too.

THe only way to do this is to use google's web fonts and ship them with
your project. It works well.
To save you the trouble, Android requires the fonts to be in a "fonts"
folder in the root folder of your projects.
Or at least its what I read somewhere in the forums.

Hi all.
I'm at the point now where I want to clean up the appearance of all my
projects across all platforms. For instance, I have a Time Calculator stack
that calculates total time for any number of start/stop/lunch entries. I
have heretofore left my field and label fonts at the default, which for
MacOS is <whateveritis>. But when I create a standalone for Windows, the
size of that text is larger, and so any labels I have overflow the label
and only show me part of the text.
What I want to do is set up my environment so that whatever font I use in
the MacOS uses, there is an identical font on the Windows side as well. I
know there is a way to embed fonts in a project, but I don't really
understand how that works.
If I use a font that exists in both Mac and Windows, a common web font for
instance, they do not look at all the same on both platforms. Verdana is a
good example. I am not averse to purchasing a font family or two and
statically setting my font, size and style for every object, so long as the
Windows and MacOS look (reasonably) the same.
Any ideas?
