Dark theme: No font change in the app itself
I can't spot any change of the app font (tried with Dancing Script, one that could be perceived sufficiently).
App v1.12.0 from izzy Android 13 Fairphone FP3
Well that's weird, it works fine on my phone:
Can you send me the logs from Settings > About? Maybe there is something there.
Thanks for the logs, there is nothing interesting inside, no error.
You do see in the settings that the new font is selected, right? So it's just that the font doesn't change?
Yes, in the Font settings, the subline for the chosen font says Dancing Script (not my font of choice BTW, just to be sure it works ;) but Dancing Script is not in use, it's the standard system font, that's used app wide.
Oooops?
I thought to myself how i could trigger a screen redraw and chose the light theme. And there it was, the font of choice, in all its beauty. Unfortunately, switching back to dark brought back the standard font. Does that tell you enough about where to look?
And it's like that with every font. Light theme: font switching works. Dark theme: nope.
The dark and light themes are indeed generated in different functions, but it worked on my emulator and in works now on my phone 🤨
I'll look into it a bit nonetheless!
I honestly have no idea why this is happening and I can't reproduce it.
I'll leave the issue open for a while in case someone else encounters the same bug.
I do have the same issue with all the themes and phone restarts. But only the emoji font doesn't change, and it's not even my system font (i changed it on my samsung galaxy, so it might be why)
Hi @mooshxvi ! So you cannot change the font at all, no matter which theme you're using?
I should change the wording for "system font" to "default font", I can't detect the system font so in reality it's just using Roboto (the default font for Android devices).
No the font changes but the emojis used are the default samsung emoji (roboto i guess), despite the fact that I changed the system font. And I don't think you have to detect the system font, maybe if you just don't adress a font for the text, the os put it's font by default. So basically the text font changes but not the emoji font.
Oh okay I understand now, thanks. I'll have to take a look at how emojis are handled.
@maelchiotti The issue changed with v2 (or maybe I had a new chance to discover the following): If I start from scratch I can use any of the proposed fonts (not tested all, but those I tried were working). But as soon as I import my json data the font issue is active again and I can not change the app fonts for the dark theme.
Ok so maybe it's related to the import feature, since preferences are included in the exports. I'll try that, thanks for the feedback.
