According to the Android Typography Design Guide, "The current TextView framework offers Roboto in thin, light, regular and bold weights". However, as far as I can tell, all that I can use as a developer is regular and bold. Am I missing something, or is that guide lying through its virtual teeth?

  • Thank you so much! I wish this was documented somewhere - I've got designers at my throat trying to use font styles I can't find in the OS... – DallonF Mar 26 '14 at 15:47
  • In the worst case you can always just include the fonts in the assets. – FD_ Mar 26 '14 at 16:12

Don't worry, the docs don't lie. Those guys know what they are writing ;)

These font types are only available starting from Jellybean 4.1 and can be accessed as described here: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.1.html#Fonts

  • I see some more font options there than were mentioned in other documentation, but what about Roboto Medium? Is that the same as Roboto Light Bold, maybe? – DallonF Mar 26 '14 at 16:08
