[android-developers] problems with Typeface

hello everybody,

I've got 2 problems with the Typeface.create(...) method :

- the javadoc for this methods say : "Create a typeface object given a
family name, and option style information. If null is passed for the
name, then the default font will be chosen". However if I use for
example : Typeface.create(null, Typeface.ITALIC), it does not compile,
with the following error : "The method create(String, int) is
ambiguous for the type Typeface". This is because there is 2 different
methods : create(String, int) and create(Typeface, int). I guess there
is a problem with the API here :(

- italic does not work with sans serif. For example if I use
Typeface.create(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.ITALIC), the text will
not be in italic. Bold works fine. Serif works fine with both bold and
italic.

regards,
Christophe
