Name of default fonts

To support some older and smaller devices in my watchface, I want to add a custom font.

Can someone tell me what the name of the default font is? Like e.g. Graphics.FONT_XTINY - which font is used in this case? (I'm talking about the font name like e.g. Roboto)

If those fonts are different on different watches, maybe someone can tell me which font the Fenix 6X uses?

Look for stuff like this: (it's from the f6x)

                 <font id="xtiny">FNT_FENIX6X_CDPG_ROBOTO_13B</font>
                    <font id="tiny">FNT_FENIX6X_CDPG_ROBOTO_19B</font>

If you look in devices.xml you'll get a hint. On some devices, Garmin uses their own fonts.

I can see following xml tags inside the main device tag: model, id, unlock, massstoragemode and extension. And I looked through all of them but I can't find anything that could be a font. Do you know the path where the font should be mentioned?

Searching for "font" was the first thing I did. On my F6X Pro I just don't have those tags... But thanks for posting yours.

I probably will go for roboto condensed

Are you looking in devices.xml in the SDK? It's in the bin directory.

when searching for the place I could find the devices.xml I mixed things up and ended on the GarminDevice.xml on my watch... Could find the texts now, thanks.

Just saw that you find the font names also inside the SDK's bin\fonts folders - the files there are named based on the device and also contain the font names
