How to convert TextStyle from Jetpack Compose to android.graphics.Typeface?

Question

I need to draw text onto Canvas in Compose, for this purpose I need a TextPaint with android.graphics.Typeface.

Is there a way to easily convert Compose TextStyle to a android.graphics.Typeface?

Answer 1

You can resolve android.graphics.Typeface object from a androidx.compose.ui.text.TextStyle object using LocalFontFamilyResolver.

val style: TextStyle = MaterialTheme.typography.body1
val resolver: FontFamily.Resolver = LocalFontFamilyResolver.current

val typeface: Typeface = remember(resolver, style) {
    resolver.resolve(
        fontFamily = style.fontFamily,
        fontWeight = style.fontWeight ?: FontWeight.Normal,
        fontStyle = style.fontStyle ?: FontStyle.Normal,
        fontSynthesis = style.fontSynthesis ?: FontSynthesis.All,
    )
}.value as Typeface
