How to change hint_text's font name in KivyMD Textfield?

Question

I was programming with Kivymd, and I have a problem.

My KV code:

MDTextField:
    hint_text: "Hint Text"
    font_name: "Fontname.ttf"

When I change font_name of MDTextfield, font of field changes. But, hint text's font does not changes. It's font is still default font.

Is there any way to change hint text's font? Thanks.

Please provide relevant code, so we can help you. In addition, the most probable cause of this issue is that the config gets overwritten later in code. — Abbas Akhundov, Jan 09 '21 at 15:37
The font for the `hint_text` is hard coded into the `MDTextField`. The authors have not provided any way to change it. — John Anderson, Jan 09 '21 at 16:39
Only by re-writing the code. You may be able to extend the MDTextField to create a custom MDTextField with the behavior that you want. — John Anderson, Feb 13 '21 at 14:33
