Font path not passed correctly

For some reason I couldn’t get styles to work correctly. The custom font loads fine when I type it directly in XML or set it as the default font in OnCreate(). However, when I use styles, they just refuse to load. This is the 2.0.0 snapshot build.

Here is my style xml

<resources>

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"/>

    <style name="Font">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/brown</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Font.Bold">
        <item name="fontPath">fonts/belwe_bt.otf</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Font.Hollow">
        <item name="fontPath">fonts/belwe_hollow.ttf</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Font.Regular">
        <item name="fontPath">fonts/archivo.ttf</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Font.Italics">
        <item name="fontPath">fonts/archivo_i.ttf</item>
    </style>

</resources>

The color and sizing work correctly, but the font fails at createFromAsset(). The paths are correct, because when I set them in XML, they work correctly.

Below is the error message. Notice that the asset path shown is not your typical text. Try selecting it for example. Multiple runs have gotten me Arabic, Russian and Mongolian strings, so I guess some random unicode text is what’s being passed for some reason.

I had this issue too. I found out that I put my assets folder in res. The correct way is to put the assets folder in the main folder instead.

Correct: …/main/assets/fonts Wrong: …/main/res/assets/fonts

If there is another issue please raise a new one. Thanks.
