I recently joined the Huawei developer community and would like to start developing Huawei themes for mobile phones. I downloaded the ThemeStudio app and everything makes sense to me, except for one thing.
Why is it not possible to change the font? It is only possible to replace the digits, but not the text itself. Does the font always have to be a default? Is it up to the user to change it, or is there some way to change the font when uploading? When I look at the themes on my Huawei Honor phone created by others, they all have the font changed.
I've gone through all the documentation and tutorials, but nowhere can I find an answer to my question. As a new user, I am quite confused, hence I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Are you referring to changing the font of the lock screen in the theme package?
If you want to change all fonts provided by the mobile phone system, Theme Studio does not support the creation of fonts. This type of font is an independent resource type and is not open to designers except Chinese Mainland.
If you just want to change the font on the lock screen before the time, you can use the image writing method to achieve. For details, you could refer to this docs.

My App uses a custom ancient font for a language that is about to be extinct, interesting right.
Now I am using the custom font thru out my app but I need to install the font into the iOS operating system I hope this is possible so that I can copy and paste text from my app into other apps like email, SMS and especially Facebook otherwise the chars come up as squares because Apple don't even support their unicode.
I think its possible because AnyFont is an app that does that without jailbreaking.
This feature is a crucial feature for users using the app to be able to communicate with the language.
So this would be much appreciated if someone could help me with some hints please.
I am not sure if I need to post code here !.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Will
You have to create a configuration profile for each font. With the manual installation by the user of that profile the font will be available for Numbers, Keynote and some others. It's available since iOS 7.
See Apple's reference page for that. Basically, you have to use the Font Payload:
A Font payload lets you add an additional font to an iOS device. Font
payloads are designated by specifying com.apple.font as the
PayloadType value. You can include multiple Font payloads, as needed.
...
Each payload must contain exactly one font file in TrueType (.ttf)
or OpenType (.otf) format. Collection formats (.ttc or .otc) are not
supported.
You can also take a look at here:

If you're using a Mac, you can also checkout Apple's Apple Configurator which allows you to create those MDM profiles too.
I want to create an app that will provide custom fonts to the user that will work in other apps also like WhatsApp, Viber, Wechat etc. Some apps on appstore that provide this functionality are as follows:-
KOOL FONT STYLES, Fonts for Whatsapp.
But the problem is that I don't know how to do this and from where I should start?
You can't - at least, not really.
Those applications don't add fonts. They expose existing Unicode characters, and automatically convert text to use these characters (for instance, one "font" might translate A to Ⓐ).
I need to know why google font API just doesn't work on iPhone, it doesn't show the great font I have chosen for the site

check out the font on sidebar... it should be COMPRESSED now it's normal
I use a combination of http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ and #fontface, and it work beautifully !
I have added the character after my name in my adress email. On Gmail or Ubuntu, it appears indeed as a . But people that read my emails on iphone get a small boar head!!
From what I read on Internet, iphone is using by default Helvetica font. And the tick is not a boar in this font.
Does anyone know where this could come from??
I asked a friend about your icon issue and he had me look into a popular emoticon plugin for iOS devices. Sure enough, after browsing through the icons, there was the small boar's head you are talking about.
The plugin is called Emoji and it essentially adds an extra keyboard to iOS Messages app. It's a possibility that the users who have reported this issue to you have that plugin installed on their devices? This might be where the icon is coming from. Let me know if you need any more information on this problem. I hope you are able to solve it!
I have a website in which i have used a custom font in css it works fine on PC but on mobiles like Iphone that font does not load. Any idea how can that be enabled on all mobile devices?
I will appreciate your answers in this regard.
Mobile Safari, for reasons unknown, doesn't support the WOFF, TTF/OTF or EOT font formats desktop browsers do. For iPhone compatibility you must also include an SVG version of the font in the sources list, along with all the others.
This is an annoyance (we can only hope that in future Apple will standardise on WOFF like everyone else), but tools like FontSquirrel's will include this for you.
