load fonts

[salanmar]

Is it possible to load a font to a typeface variable from internal or external sd instead of using LoadFromAssets?

You can use reflection something like this:

Sub FontFromFile(Dir As String, FileName As String) As Typeface
   
   Dim R As Reflector
   Return R.RunStaticMethod("android.graphics.Typeface","createFromFile",Array As String(File.Combine(Dir,FileName)),Array As String("java.lang.String"))
End Sub

Try this:

Sub CreateTypefaceFromFile(Dir As String, FileName As String) As Typeface
 Dim r As Reflector
 Return r.RunStaticMethod("android.graphics.Typeface", "createFromFile", _
   Array As Object(File.Combine(Dir, FileName)), Array As String("java.lang.String"))
End Sub
