How to retrieve a list of available/installed fonts in android?

Question

In Java I would do something like:

java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment ge = 
                      java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
Font[         


        

Answer 1

There are only 3 fonts available as part of android; normal (Droid Sans), serif (Droid Serif), and monospace (Droid Sans Mono).

Apps can include their own truetype fonts but can't install them for use by other apps.
