android set custom font to a paint

Question

Answer 1

If you want to use a font from resources (Kotlin):

val textPaint = TextPaint()
textPaint.typeface = resources.getFont(R.font.font_name)

This might not be related to the question, but this is what I was looking for - maybe somebody would need it too.
