If you substitute your font for the one in ApiDemos, and rebuild them,  
do you see yours appear in ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/ 
graphics/Typefaces.java?

To all:

I've noticed that Android lets developers include their own TrueType
fonts, by way of the assets\fonts folder.  This is a great feature,
and works well.

But I notice that if I copy one of my own homemade TrueType fonts -
created using CorelDraw's export function - any text I render in that
font comes out as the Android system default font rather than in the
font I've just included.

Is there something the Android environment looks for in TrueType or
*.TTF files - a digital signature, a certain character, something -
that would cause a homemade font file's outlines to be ignored?

The TTF files I've created only have a subset of the entire character
set, usually consisting only of numbers and symbols.  The TTF file
works just fine in major applications like Microsoft Office (even the
latest one) and Adobe Photoshop.  Can any of the Android developers
comment?

Thanks,
Charles
