Prevent system font from overriding app font

[damathryx]

Description:
Font style is overridden by system fonts on phones like Samsung which has a feature of changing system fonts on setting.

Reproduction:
You need a phone that can change system fonts not fonts by themes. Change the font in System -> Display -> Fonts. Then the app also gets that font.

• I added my fonts in assets
• Uses a stateless component called AppText with my custom font.

Additional Information:
rn: 0.42
OS: OS X Sierra
Platform: Android

We're cutting down on the number of outstanding issues, in order to allow us to focus. I'm closing this issue because it has been open for over 60 days with no activity. If you think it should still be opened let us know why. PRs are always welcome.

@damathryx I know I'm late, but did you find any solution? I'm having the same problem. Strangely enough, only one or two elements throughout the app change to the custom system font.

Was this every fixed, I'm having the same issue

[isAlmogK]

Why was this closed if it was never fixed? or at least not updated to see if this was planned to be fixed?

You can find an explanation for why this was closed in my comment above. If this is still an issue for you, you can open a new issue with more details.

@hramos thanks but inactivity doesn't mean the issue went away, wouldn't it be good to keep this open and under "known issues".

Either way, I have this issue and I'm not clear if this is something that will be solved in future versions or not?

I think it could be to do with naming conventions of the file naming on Android. My iOS works, but android is over written by system font.. Comic Sans.. Not making the design team happy ;)
