making a font bold

[gjoisa]

I am using a custom font in my app . i used the code as :
Dim mf As TypeFace
.......
mf=Typeface.LoadFromAssets("sgj.ttf")
Now how to make this font as bold font ?

 

[Erel]

mf = Typeface.CreateNew(mf, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)

 

[bsnqt]

mf = Typeface.CreateNew(mf, Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)

For me it does not work (Sony Xperia S, Android 4.1) ... now I don't know how to make the text bold...

Which font file have you loaded?

Dear Erel,

I use Roboto Thin font (.ttf). I can upload it here upon your request.
My code:

Dim myfont As TypeFace
myfont = Typeface.LoadFromAssets("RobotoThin.ttf")
myfont = Typeface.CreateNew(myfont , Typeface.STYLE_BOLD)
Label1.Typeface = myfont

I need to mention that my Label1 is used for adding to a CustomListView.
I don't get any error. It just displays the same thin font without changing it to BOLD as expected

Your code is correct. The font file probably doesn't have a "bold" variant.
