Hi TS7612, you accidentally replied to “Welcome to SmallBASIC” instead of opening a new topic. No problem, I just opened a new topic for you.
Loading true type fonts during runtime of your program would be a nice feature. I think in the SDL version it shouldn’t be too complicated to implement this. In Android I’m not so sure.
We got in the past several requests to make saving of files in Android more flexible. But it seems that file permissions in Android 15 are quite strict and complicated to get around. At the moment we are not planing to implement this. If you have problems to access your files, you can use the browser file transfer: SmallBASIC | android_file_transfer
Is there somebody who can tell me when it will be added to Small Basic for Android?
And: is it possible to make the Small Basic programs start from the Android launcher by pressing a shortcut symbol for example?
Hi TS7612,
Thanks for joining the forum!
There are three true-type fonts baked into the android version:
Envy Code R
Inconsolata
UbuntuMono
These are all mono-spaced fonts. The display system is not designed for variable width fonts. If there’s another nice looking mono-space font you’d like added let me know. It might be possible to implement support for dropping in different fonts for use via the web portal.
