Flutter - Custom Font not displaying

Question

This is an excerpt of my pubspec.yaml file:

flutter:   uses-material-design: true   fonts:    - family: Coiny      fonts:        - asset: fonts/Coiny-Regular.ttf 

I am trying to use the font called "Coiny" from the Google Fonts page. I created a fonts folder inside my root directory and put it in there.

In my code, I do this:

new Text("Testtext", style: new TextStyle(fontFamily: "Coiny")), 

But it has no effect. I have encountered a similar problem in the past with the Barrio font. But it seemed to work after some time, which is not the case with this one.

Answer 1

You might want to try removing the app from the device and reinstalling it. Depending on how you're launching, it might not be writing over the old install file.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. If you're testing via an emulator, you just need to stop and restart it. Via VSCode you can just stop the run process (Red square in the top right) and then run -> Run without debugging or Start Debugging
