Is it possible to use my own font with a label? I read that it was not possible before, but the posts are quite old, can it be done now?

[Dievon]

Hi Jeff. Did you finally get to change label font family at all? I dont' get it even with Arial or any other standard apart from default

[JeffLemon]

Nope, still waiting for a reply from someone who might know how to do it.

You are talking about Momentics, right? With Qt it is possible.

[BBornot2B]

Right, we know how to do it, but the font won't show changed on dev alpha or bb10 simulator... nor in the qml view of the momentics IDE

[JeffLemon]

Could you post your code? Thanks!

[BBornot2B]

Sure!

// Default empty project template
import bb.cascades 1.0
import bbornot2b.lib 1.0

// creates one page with a label
Page {
Container {
layout: DockLayout {
}
ImageView {
imageSource: "asset:///images/background_portrait.png"
}
ImageView {
imageSource: "asset:///images/message-box.png"
}
Label {
id: message
objectName: "app_message"
text: "Slide to unlock"
textStyle.fontFamily: "Arial"
textStyle.textAlign: TextAlign.Center
textStyle.color: Color.White
translationY: 60
preferredWidth: 768.0
preferredHeight: 230.0
textStyle.fontSizeValue: 15.0
}
...

Does anyone know how to load in custom fonts yet?

[BBornot2B]

Not yet... any comment about the code I posted? Thanks, Diego

[JeffLemon]

Yoru code doesnt mention anything about loading in a customer font, it just says arial

Thanks anyway
