Android Question Allocate Character from Custom Typeface to a String?

[Andy Whitehouse]

Hi,

Two questions about the same topic:-

1) Is it possible to allocate a particular character from a custom typeface to a string or other variable - I am working with Hamburg Symbols as a Typeface. So can I define "Symbol" as an array, and allocate say character 100 in the Hamburg Font Typeface to Symbol(1)? so that everytime I want to I can print Symbol (1) onto a table or other view?

2) If there is a method, can I mix up different typefaces? - I am happy that a Particular column in a table only is set with a particular typeface.

Thanks

I do not know, but I would try to look at this thread

Thanks Luca.

I did see this and have had a play around with it, but I cant seem to get it to change the actual typeface, just different attributes (e.g. colours, bold etc).

Thanks

Andy

If some "wrapperist" read your thread...

RichString allows you to use different typefaces, however you cannot use it with a custom typeface.

There isn't any other way (except WebView) to combine two typefaces.

Erel and Luca,
Thanks for the prompt response as always.

I will take a look at doing what I need with web view.

Thanks
