Hi Louis,
somewhere in your stack add this;

Code: Select all

if the platform = "iphone" then set the textFont of this stack to "Helvetica"
But make sure you are using a font that's is on the system.

Hi Simon,

It seems not working on a native multiline of android device. Is it only working for iphone?

Thanks,

Louis

Hi,
Are you using droid or droid sans font? Or are you including a font?

Hi simon

I tried both adding font and choosing font (Droid Serif etc) from device system. Text font setting affects a LC field and buttons but not a native multiline..

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Louis,
Sorry, it's in the Dictionary, set fontName is only iOS.
