Why can't I use Font Typeface property in Companion?

It was working yesterday evening on Companion real device. But today it suddenly stopped working after I updated the companion app to 2.66 on BlueStacks emulator. So now I am forced to use the built-in sans serif and serif fonts. What could be causing this? (by the way I am using free no-copyright fonts)

Does it work on a real device with companion 2.66?

3

Yes, it does. That's very weird.

4

Have you tried other emulator than BlueStack?

5

So it looks like an issue with BlueStacks.

6

Android version?
If < 10, then it doesn't work with Companion:

As Anke mentioned, check what android your emulators are emulating. Perhaps in the emulator settings it is possible to change the android versions.

9

If you have Android < 10 "manually" copy yourfont.ttf to /storage/emulated/0/AppInventor/assets

Maybe the emulators have 7.0 ??

Ok I will try! :slight_smile:

Seems like Nox is emulating version 7.1.2 ...

Even I tried @Anke 's instruction also, it didn't work though :slightly_frowning_face:

You're using an OTF file. What if you switch to a TTF file and loading it from the assets?

14

It also doesn't work with TTF fonts. Just tested it, and similar error..

It works fine on Android < 10.
It seems you are doing something wrong.
