Step #1 is for you to find a version of Georgia that you can legally ship with your application. The only fonts pre-installed in Android that you can use are the Droid fonts (Droid Sans, Droid Serif, Droid Mono). AFAIK, Georgia is a Microsoft font -- you will need to determine the distribution rules for the font. Step #2 is for you to find TrueType (TTF) editions of the font in whatever weights and styles you want (regular, bold, italic, etc.). Then, you can package the fonts as assets with your project and use them with the Typeface class -- I've written up the process over on AndroidGuys: http://androidguys.com/?p=656 Forgive the formatting of the blog post -- this one is old, and a site rebuild fouled up all my earlier posts. Also, while I think this example was written for the M5 SDK, I also think it works without changes on the current one. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
