Using Html.fromHtml to set custom Typeface

Question

I found this list of HTML-Tags that are (supposedly) supported for HTML.fromHtml to create a Spanned-Text:

Now is there ANY way to set a custom Typeface with the Font-Tag?

Answer 1

Simply use a <font> tag with a face attribute. This has been possible since at least Android 1.5 ( see source code ).

The value of the face attribute will be passed to the TypefaceSpan(String) constructor to create the Spannable. For example, use "monospace", "serif", or "sans-serif".

Answer 2

this has worked for me

Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf");
currentRounds.setTypeface(typeface);
currentRounds.setText(Html.fromHtml("Current Rounds <br><b>2650</b>"));

Answer 3

Outdated. See other answers.

No, there's no way to do so. You can take a look at the Html implementation . As you will see, the font tag supports size and color only.
