Custom Ttf Fonts Are Not Showing Properly In Textview On Android 4.4 Kitkat

I have some text which has some bolded parts. Until KitKat this strategy (as mentioned in this post) worked perfectly well My strings resources file:

Apparently this is a bug in KitKat and has been fixed in an internal tree.

Solution 3:

Put your custom font in android assets under folder name "font" or whatever you want

Try this

myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),
            "fonts/<<your font>>.ttf");

in onCreate() then

[use youcontroll].setTypeface(myTypeface);

Best of Luck...

I resolved the problem by converting my file.ttf to file.otf

remplace :

Typefacetypeface= Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(), "fonts/ostrich_regular.ttf");
yourTextView.setTypeface(typeface);

by :

Typefacetypeface= Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(), "fonts/ostrich_regular.otf");
yourTextView.setTypeface(typeface);

FYI : the .otf format work for all android version (not only on kitkat)

Solution 5:

After many hours searching for roboto.otf (2014 year) I understood that it was a mistake. Simply download a normal ttf font from https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/roboto-2014 and copy to assets folder, then use setTypeface. Also you may convert it to otf with any web-site.
