Is it possible to use typeFaces with Pixate Freestyle on Android?

For example:

label{
    font-family: "MyCustomFont";
}

Remember that I'll put the font file inside the Assets folder.

In general, the font support is similar to what Pixate Freestyle have for iOS (see http://www.pixate.com/blog/2013-04-09-font-properties/). However, the Android version only supports the built-in font-families. The fonts (Typefaces) loading is done at the https://github.com/Pixate/pixate-freestyle-android/blob/master/pixate-freestyle/src/com/pixate/freestyle/styling/fonts/PXFontRegistry.java class, and although there is a method there to load from a resource, this method is never called. We'll need to fix that to have a custom-font support. However, it will still be tricky with the font-family detection since Android's API does not provide the font family information when loading a Typeface as an asset (we may have to do an actual reading of the ttf file to get that information, like in here - http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/fop/fonts/apps/TTFReader.java).

In case you would like to contribute any change, you are more then welcome, as it may take some time till we can get to it.

    It is not possible to use JAVA.NET.URI and load the font from there and use as a font-face attribute at the CSS Style ? – Rodrigo Amaro Sep 11 '14 at 14:00
