How to enable fontWeights with custom fonts react native-CodePudding

I have a React Native App v .66.1 - And I have my custom fonts loaded and they are working for both iOS and Android. However, I cannot use the fontWeight property to bold them. Is there a step I'm missing?

My font structure:

root/src/assets/fonts/[fonts are here]

react-native.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  assets: [
    './src/assets/fonts'
  ]
}

CodePudding user response：

Font weight does not always work properly on Android. I'd recommend using different files for Regular and Bold variations, like:

FontName-Regular.ttf
FontName-Bold.ttf

Don't forget to link them using react-native link

Then use the appropriate fontFamily on your regular or bold text.

Edit your react-native.config.js file like this:

module.exports = {
    project: {    //maybe you're forgetting this
        ios: {},
        android: {},
    },
    assets: ['./src/assets/fonts']
};

After this, link your assets using the react-native link cmd.

Hope this works for you.
