Customizing Fonts in Flutter with Example

Flutter is an open-source framework used for developing high-quality mobile applications for both Android and iOS platforms. Flutter offers various options for customizing the user interface of your app, including the ability to customize fonts.

In this blog, we will discuss how to customize fonts in Flutter with an example.

Step 1: Adding Fonts to Your Flutter Project

The first step is to add custom fonts to your Flutter project. You can do this by adding the font files to the fonts directory in your project. For example, if you have a font file named custom_font.ttf, you can add it to the fonts directory as shown below:

- fonts
  - custom_font.ttf

Step 2: Defining Fonts in pubspec.yaml

After adding the font files to your project, you need to define them in the pubspec.yaml file. To do this, add the following code to your pubspec.yaml file:

flutter:
  fonts:
    - family: CustomFont
      fonts:
        - asset: fonts/custom_font.ttf

Here, family is the name you want to give to your font family, and asset is the path to your font file.

Step 3: Using Custom Fonts in Your Flutter App

Once you have added the custom font to your project and defined it in the pubspec.yaml file, you can use it in your Flutter app. To do this, you need to specify the font family in the TextStyle widget. For example, the code below shows how to use the CustomFont family in a Text widget:

Text(
  'Hello World',
  style: TextStyle(
    fontFamily: 'CustomFont',
    fontSize: 20,
  ),
),

Step 4: Applying Fonts to Your Entire App

If you want to apply the custom font to your entire app, you can do so by defining a global TextStyle in your app's theme. To do this, add the following code to your ThemeData

theme: ThemeData(
  textTheme: TextTheme(
    bodyText2: TextStyle(
      fontFamily: 'CustomFont',
      fontSize: 16,
    ),
  ),
),

Here, bodyText2 is the default text style for your app.
