  Hi @avanekar02

  You can create a similar file to fonts-roboto.css (under wwwroot/fonts folder) and create a folder with font files similar to wwwroot/fonts/Robot.

  I thought you were talking about Web App. You can check https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/37410/how-to-set-font-family-to-whole-application for that.

  i copied the font cairo under mobile.shared project in ui/assets folder then i added the font int app.xaml in the same project and reference it in label control

    <!--  font families  -->
              <OnPlatform x:Key="RegularFontFamily" x:TypeArguments="x:String">
                  <On Platform="iOS">HelveticaNeue</On>
                  <On Platform="Android">/UI/Assets/Cairo-Black.ttf#Cairo-Black</On>
                  <!--<On Platform="Android">sans-serif</On>-->
              </OnPlatform>
              
                <!-- STYLES -->
              <Style TargetType="Label" ApplyToDerivedTypes="True" CanCascade="True">
                  <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource RegularFontFamily}" />
                  <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ StaticResource BaseFontSize }" />
                  <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{ StaticResource LabelColor }" />
              </Style>
  

  but it does not show .

  selected the cairo.ttf file and set the build mode as content, and always copy.

  it throws error "Java.Lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made "

  but i loaded the same font in paint or word it works fine so the .ttf file is not corrupt, also i tried various combinations of file name in lowercase,uppercase with spaces but does not work.

  thanks Anwar
