Problems with fonts in android 4.4

Question

Today i've updated my android sdk to 19 api, and while testing my app I have encountered some bugs in 19 api: drop some fonts in text view, or have problems with it's size.

first screen, code of one view:

tvBalance = new TextView(getContext());
    rlParams = new LayoutParams(frame.width, (int) (frame.heigth * zoneExtetn));
    rlParams.setMargins(frame.left, (int) (frame.top - frame.heigth * (zoneUp-0.1f)), 0, 0);
    tvBalance.setLayoutParams(rlParams);
    tvBalance.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    tvBalance.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
    tvBalance.setTextColor(0xffffd008);
    tvBalance.setTextSize(PokerTextSize.scaleFont(getContext(), 28));
    tvBalance.setText("$ 0 000 000 000");
    tvBalance.setTypeface(TypefaceBase.getCalibri((Activity) getContext()));
    rlMoney.addView(tvBalance);

and second screen code:

TextView tvText = new TextView(llContent.getContext());
            llParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            llParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, marg*2);
            tvText.setLayoutParams(llParams);
            tvText.setTextSize(fonts[0]);
            tvText.setTextColor(articleColor);
            tvText.setText(Html.fromHtml(articleItem.getString()));
            tvText.setTypeface(TypefaceBase.getCalibri((Activity) this.getContext()));

            llContent.addView(tvText);

Anybody have these problems in android 4.4 kit-kat?

Answer 1

I'm having a similar issue, and found this thread. See if that helps.

Custom ttf fonts are not showing properly in TextView on Android 4.4 KitKat

Edit:

I was having the same issue while using calibri.ttf. I switched over to lato.ttf (available on google.com/fonts), and they work fine/look extremely similar.
