Hi, I hope you find the following a bits helpful to start off:
//create a new "fonts" folder and place inside of your assets folder
//copy and paste the font named "[mac font name].otf" to your new fonts
folder from your mac's "Font Book" folder (I use mac).
//call the following method
myLayout();
//method definition:
private void myLayout() {
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"[mac font name].otf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setTypeface(tf);
TextView tv1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
tv1.setTypeface(tf);
TextView tv2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
tv2.setTypeface(tf);
}
As a Noob myself, I learned this from "
Android App Development and Design: Learn by Video [DVD-ROM]
"
Of course, I have Mark's book also.
