Opens Sans all styles not available via Downloadable Fonts on Android

Question

I am using Open Sans font in my app via Downloadable Fonts

However not all styles are available. There are 36 variations available on Google Fonts whereas when added via android studio I am getting only 13. What can be the reason for this? Do I have to add them as ttf files to use them in my app?

Answer 1

Having the same issue when trying to use specific open sans fonts. We can download and use the .ttf file from Google Fonts but the drawback would be a relatively larger app size since each font file would be around ~ 130kb.

Still trying to figure our a reason for this myself yet.
