Android custom fonts in web scroller native control...

[Ralph DiMola]

Jacque,

I've been using custom fonts in both Android and iOS. They work exactly as
Roger documented. I even put all my custom fonts into a folder and just
included the folder in the "Copy files" Pane and like magic the builder
finds them and the apps on both platforms report them and use them as
expected.

Cool. Thanks Roger. It's been a while since I re-read the release notes.

That being the case, the original poster may have found a bug.
