Download LibRes.zip from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwkcpqfdtlvrys3/LibRes.zip?dl=0) and then extract it and copy folder LibRes (with its contents) to be on the same folder level as that of the B4A project's /Files and /Objects folders.

Copy the attached library files to your additional library folder.

Thank you Johan but what is the difference of this lib and "normal" Typeface?
