Thanks for this, this looks interesting. I've been searching for a better way of building the font families, actually creating Typeface families natively that way we would not need to do any logic ourselves.

I would love to see this feature implemented!

Very nice feature.

When you plan to release a new version with this?

[mateusgrb]

Very nice and useful feature!

This pull request is still open. When you release this feature? Thank you

[evanverses]

This would be good on future release. Plz merge

Any info about this? It’s more than one year old.

By the way:

1. The current logic is not 100% compliant with the proposed description in README. For example, if the font is italic, it will look for -RegularItalic, while it should look for -Italic.
2. As is, it doesn’t work with the default font set in CalligraphyConfig, which is what you would expect. The logic should probably be moved in TypefaceUtils.load(), with some signature changes.

Also if - say - bold is not present we should fallback to regular.

@chrisjenx I have read elsewhere that you were planning to use a different technique. Are you still working on that? Can we help in some way?

Is there any news regarding this PR or support for setting multiple font types?

[chrisjenx]

I would fork and use this yourself, we are going to do another mechanism to do this.

[MGaetan89]

Thanks for the info.
I can wait for the official solution.
Any (approximate) idea when it will be released?

[MGaetan89]

@chrisjenx Is there any update on the implementation of this feature?

Please approve this PR

This kind of thing makes more sense to use with either https://github.com/InflationX/ViewPump or the native supported font's built into Google Play Services now.
