Wish Adding fonts to the designer

[Roger Daley]

This is a question for which I think I already know the answer.

Is there a way to add fonts to a project so they that show in the drop down Type Face box of the designer?

I know that you can add/use fonts in the code but I am always looking for the easy option. If it is not currently possible perhaps Erel could add it to the long term wish list.

Regards Roger

In some projects Its quite time consuming to change the font in many views.

In the Designer could be like the section "Image Files", a new option called "Font Files" with add and remove.

And then, all the font files added to the designer will be available in the FontFace property of the views

This would be really handy!

This is already supported.

Erel,

Supported in what manner? I can't see anywhere in the designer to import/select additional fonts as queried in the original post.

Erel,
Please ignore all above, I found a Post from Cableguy.
"Normally all TTF fonts should work with no problems. Also, in the visual designer, if you add a font file to your folder and to the designer, as you would do for an image file, it becomes available in the text typeface properties of the view"

Supported in what manner?

Starting from B4A v4.00 the designer supports custom fonts:

It is not seen in this screenshot however the custom font does appear in the WYSIWYG visual designer.

Cableguy mentioned this in another thread but I didn't realize this meant it would show up here. This is great.
Thank you,
