android - how to set custom typeface in paint object?

Question

I want to use a Paint to draw something and here is my code :

    Paint mMonthTitlePaint = new Paint();
    mMonthTitlePaint.setFakeBoldText(true);
         


        

Answer 1

try this:

    Typeface tf =Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/iran_sans_.ttf");
   Paint paint = new Paint();
   paint.setTypeface(tf);
   canvas.drawText("Sample text",0,0,paint);

you can also use the Textpaint class instead of Paint

   TextPaint textPaint = new TextPaint();
    textPaint.setTextSize(20);
    textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
    textPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    Typeface tf =Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/iran_sans_.ttf");
    textPaint.setTypeface(tf);
