Answer 1

Put all your fonts in you React-Native project directory

./assets/fonts/

Add the following line in your package.json

"rnpm": {
  "assets": ["./assets/fonts"]
}

finally run in the terminal from your project directory

$ react-native link

to use it declare this way in your styles

fontFamily: 'your-font-name without extension'

If your font is Raleway-Bold.ttf then,

fontFamily: 'Raleway-Bold'
