[android-developers] Re: Show Glyph outside Unicode Range ? label:Android

I don't think that Android's typeface component or TextView allows switching to different variants. If your font does not have a mapping from that glyph to a Unicode code point then you probably won't be able to render it.

If you have a font editing application you could extract that glyph and assign it to an ordinary "1" :-/

Hi guys,
i would like to show a Glyph (GlyphID 932) of a Font that i use in my app.
The Glyph isn't specified in the Unicode therefor is doesn't have and UnicodeID.
Its a special redrawn "1" inside this Font.
Under Photoshop you can acces it via "OpenType-> Format variants" (or sort of, i use the German Version)
and it will display the correct Character.
I also tried to copy it directly in the Source but only got a squared Questionmark.

Any ideas ?

Code below :

    Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/thesansextra.otf");      TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txt_sub);      tv.setText("1");      tv.getPaint().setAntiAlias(true);      tv.setTypeface(tf);
