How do you put text on a canvas and change the fonts?

[Jim Tassitano]

I am trying to put text on a canvas but I want to use a different font than the default in app inventor 2. Is there a way to do this? The "call Canvas.DrawText " block is simple enough but I need more font options for my app. The text needs to be dynamically updated from time to time so just using imagesprites is very limited unless there is a clever way to update then. The application does not need to run very fast so I can tolerate a slow program execution if necessary. I would think many programmers have tried to do this so I am hoping there is a solution.

Thanks,
Jim T.

you can't change the font in the canvas

in the webviewer you have more possibilities, but that is probably not what you want...
