How to use custom font with WebView

android, custom-font, webview

Solution

`loadData` didn't work for me either, so I used `file:///android_asset` in the src path.

It worked with `loadDataWithBaseURL`!

For this example I changed the CSS to:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'feast';
    src: url('fonts/feasfbrg.ttf');
}

body {font-family: 'feast';}

Then use the assets path as the base url:

loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/",myhtml,"text/html","utf-8",null);

Problem

Now I want to display some unicode characters and I have used tag: `<font face=" Arial">something here</font>`. But it seems that `WebView` can not find the Arial font because I can only see UFO-characters. Do I have to copy arial.ttf to somewhere or how can I use this TrueType font with `WebView`? Thanks.
