FontFamily React Native App overwrite with device custom font (Samsung & Oppo)

Question

In React Native, I define font family for all text with Rubik font but for some devices (SAMSUNG & OPPO), the font looks like overwrite with a custom device font because that brand can choose a custom font for their device.

I don't know why sometimes some text looks like overwrite with custom device font & some text still uses the Rubik font.

Environment:

OS: macOS HighSierra
Node: 9.3.0
Yarn: 1.3.2
npm: 5.7.0
Watchman: 4.9.0

Packages:

react-native: "^0.47.2,
react: "^16.0.0-alpha.12,
react-native-vector-icons: ^4.4.2,

Target Platform: Android

Any ideas on how to make a device font can't overwrite the set font family font?

do the names of your font files use dashes or underscores? I had an issue where I had to use underscores in Android to get it to work properly. — Jeremy, Apr 10 '18 at 23:58

How are you loading your fonts? Through the google cdn or locally? — Coder100, Nov 27 '20 at 23:28
