React Native Android & Custom Fonts Checklist

Here are a few things to remember:

• file type needs to be ttf NOT OTF!
• Create assets/fonts if it doesn’t exist (mkdir -p assets/fonts)
• place the font files within ./android/app/src/main/assets/fonts/FONT_NAME.ttf
• Recompile. react-native run-android
• fontFamily: FONT_NAME (1:1)
• Viola!
