Can new system fonts be added to Android? Can applications refer to them? Several threads have addressed this, but I can't find a complete answer.
The only method I have found to change system fonts is with "adb push". If I use adb to install a new font can an app use it? Or does Android only allow the "Droid" fonts it is shipped with? Is there a user friendly way to install a system font? (no adb, no hacking disk images). Can an app install a system font? I'm writing an app that needs foreign language support which is not currently part of Android. I'm especially interested in Koine (New Testament) Greek. Modern Greek is kind of supported, but Koine has a lot more diacritical marks (for example: Εν ἀρχῆ ἦν ὁ λόγος will not display correctly in Android). I can include a font with my application. However this limits it's use to only my app. Adding a good unicode font can add several 100k to my app, which makes it many times bigger than entire rest of the app. This is a waste, especially if more than one app wants to use the font. (Is there a way to share fonts across apps without using a system font?) In the case of trying to use an Android phone in a foreign language a system-wide font is an absolute necessity. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
