Custom Fonts ᴺᴱᵂ

The SDK supports two approaches to custom typography: a global font resource that applies to the entire SDK, and per-element overrides that target individual UI components such as comment bodies or the text input field.

Option 1 — Global Font

Apply a single font family to all SDK text by setting the styleResId on fontFamily.

1. Declare a font family resource in res/font/ (e.g., res/font/my_font_family.xml).
2. Assign its resource ID before the first SDK fragment is loaded:

OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.fontFamily.styleResId = R.font.my_font_family

Note: Set font customizations before the first fragment is loaded. Changes applied after the fragment is already in the layout will not take effect until the fragment is recreated.

Option 2 — Per-Element Fonts

Override the font on individual UI elements using OWCustomizationTextElement. Access elements through OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.

1. Set fontFamily to the name of a font in res/font/ or a system family name:

// Override the comment body font
OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.commentBody.fontFamily = "my_custom_font"
OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.commentBody.fontWeight = OWFontWeight.BOLD

// Override the comment input text font
OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.inputText.fontFamily = "serif"
OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.inputText.fontWeight = OWFontWeight.NORMAL

Supported fontFamily values:

• Name of a resource in res/font/ (without file extension), e.g., "my_custom_font"
• System generic family name: "serif", "sans-serif", "monospace", "cursive", "fantasy"

Available Text Elements

All elements below support fontFamily and fontWeight. Access them via OpenWeb.manager.ui.customizations.elements.

Note: Set font customizations before the first fragment is loaded. Changes applied after the fragment is already in the layout will not take effect until the fragment is recreated.
