@artyorsh I dug into this briefly and found https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/issues/330 (tl;dr - it claims that React context is supported, but somehow the issue is still open).

I’ll check this further, thanks for the pointer!

@xfyre we use custom fonts in Kitten Tricks (OpenSans). You can try using custom fonts too, but it works properly in React with system fonts on both platforms (Roboto for Android and San Francisco for iOS)
