Hi I am using a custom Typeface in my app with the following code:
public Typeface font;
//Activity on create:
font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"DINOT-Medium.otf");
TextView tv = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setTypeface(font);
The problem is after a while it gets buggy: the text can no longer be read and only squares are visible. Do you know why this happens? How can it be fixed?
Thanks
On Mobiletuts+ there is very good tutorial on Text formatting for Android. Quick Tip: Customize Android Fonts
EDIT: Tested it myself now. Here is the solution. You can use a subfolder called fonts but it must go in the assets folder not the res folder. So
Also make sure that the font ending I mean the ending of the font file itself is all lower case. In other words it should not be myFont.TTF but myFont.ttf
