Check if custom font can display character

Question

I have a custom font which is displaying the box character. The font I am using does not support all languages apparently. I want to check if the String I am about to displa

Answer 1

To check whether the music symbol ♫ is being displayed in a string (if it is not being displayed on some devices), you can try measuring the string width; if width == 0 then the symbol is absent.

Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
Rect rtt = new Rect();
paint.getTextBounds( "♫", 0, 1, rtt );
    if( rtt.width() == 0 ){
}
