Determining device families without using separate resource folders

Hello,

I would like to change the font for one specific device family in my project ("round-240x240", launcher_icon height="33" width="40"), as it is too big. As that's the only thing that is different, I don't want to use separate specific folders, and instead wish to define the fonts in the onLayout() function. I already know how to define a specific device, but when it comes to a whole family is there a more efficient way? And also, how do I determine the specific resolution?

This is what I've got so far:-

    function onLayout(dc) {
        setLayout(Rez.Layouts.WatchFace(dc));
        if (/*something like family == "round-240x240" and resolution(??)*/) {
            smallFont = Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_XTINY;
		} else if (screenWidth == 208) {
			smallFont = Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY;
		} else if (screenShape != System.SCREEN_SHAPE_ROUND) {
	        smallFont = Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_SMALL;
        } else {
	        smallFont = Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY;
        } 
        
    }

Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

something like this?

width=dc.getWidth();
height=dc.getHeight();
font=Gfx.FONT_TINY;

if(width==height && width==240) {

  if(dc.getFontHeight(font)==(whatever it is on the device you're looking for)) {
    font=Gfx.FONT_XTINY;  //whatever font you want to use instead
  }
}

This worked perfectly - thanks!

DO NOT use a check like this...

if (dc.getFontHeight(font) == (???)) {

Doing so is asking for a ton of trouble. We often have issues where the font height differs between the actual device and the simulator by 1 or 2px. A check like this would work perfectly in the simulator, and will not work properly on a device.

OK, so what can I do then? In my project the family "round-240x240" together with icon resolution "40x33" is the only one in which Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_TINY is way too big, so I need Graphics.FONT_SYSTEM_XTINY only for these devices.

You can include a 1-2 px variant (a range)

I'll try that, thanks.
