Here are a few things to remember:

  • file type needs to be `ttf` NOT OTF!
  • Create `assets/fonts` if it doesn’t exist (mkdir -p assets/fonts)
  • place the font files within `./android/app/src/main/assets/fonts/FONT_NAME.ttf`
  • Recompile. `react-native run-android`
  • `fontFamily: FONT_NAME (1:1)`
  • Viola!
