Is there a default font or font-combination for android in fontFamily or typeface that has rounded edges in each letter, similar to comic sans?
The reason why is because I am trying to display a bubbly like font that has smoothly-rounded edges for each letter.
I have looked around the web for a while and haven't been able to find a simple solution because I don't want to use other libraries or import a font for various reasons (e.g. memory, space, etc.) in my android project files. It shouldn't be this hard to find this but has taken me awhile for some reason.
There is no such font, you need to add a .ttf file for the typeface you want.
This site has a lot of free fonts like what you're looking for. The first one I looked at has a file size of only 50kb.

See Android - Using Custom Font for how to add it.

I found a list of the default fonts in this answer but I'm not able to find which font is used for displaying emojis (if there is one).
I’ve looked far and wide for an answer to this, e.g., the androidx docs:
https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/text-and-emoji/emoji2
At the end of the day, the emoji2 library loads Noto Emoji but could load other fonts, too.
The font name in use (can also be used in CSS font-family declarations) is
Noto Color Emoji Compat.
I want to use custom font Avenir-Roman in tff format in android, but both on the device and in the preview window of Android Studio it looks totally different from real one.
I try to use different approaches such as standard fontFamily attribute, set typeface from assets folder, Caligraphy library - all the same effect. What the reason of such distortion and how to fix this?
On this picture from android developer site, we can see a using of card layout. But they used some specific font there. On images there are some strings with this font. What is a font?
And if you can, tell me, how to implement a transparent toolbar, as in the picture?
Thanks
The font on the pictures is Roboto Slab
I'm having have some issues with using a custom font ( Typeface ) in Android.
What happens is that when rendering text in a TextView, the last line is often partially cut off vertically (the lower parts of letters like g, j, y, etc missing) , even if there's PLENTY of space below the text. I assume this is because there's something wrong with the custom font file ( an OTF file) that I'm using. This does only happen when using this custom font. If I use Android standard fonts, not setting my custom typeface, everything works fine.
Question: What are the requirements for font files for Android, so that they work correctly. (Please don't post workarounds for the issue, I'm aware of those. )
Both OTF & TTF fonts Will work fine in android,You have to take care of textsize and paddings arround it.
I made a display, that will show the sum of purchase. It's a TextView with background image. I have a designed digits too. How can I set those digit images to that TextView or do I have to create some layout instead of simple TextView? If I need to create layout, can you add some code sample, how can I do it?
Here's an example what I want to achieve.

As far as I know, your two options would be to create your own True/OpenTypeFont (setting the color of the text to yellow in xml most likely) or to code your own custom ViewGroup which will take a String and convert each character to the appropriate image.
If you're able to construct your own font, you can add a font folder inside your assets project folder, and put your font in it. It can then be loaded like this:
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(myContext.getAssets(), "fonts/MyFont.ttf");
myTextView.setTypeface(tf);
This site has free fonts even for commercial use, http://www.fontsquirrel.com and I searched for led and found a font called radioland that looks good, though the numbers are at an angle. If you do use that site, I've found it's good to verify the font is indeed free to use with it's included license or a software and can open the font and view it's headers.
Install and use the National Instruments 7 Segment LED font. For the Pound symbol, you can make a tabular layout and put it in a corner.
