Only some alpha characters display on label

Mike 6 months ago

When I try to populate a label the string "ABCDE" only the "A" and the "E" display on the screen. The other three characters are only outlined placeholders.

<label id="lblFoo" x="center" y="center" font="Graphics.FONT_NUMBER_HOT" justification="Graphics.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER" />

var label = View.findDrawableById("lblFoo") as Text;
label.setText("ABCDE");

Number fonts (you use FONT_NUMBER_HOT) typically only have numbers and a few extras, like : - +

Looks like on your device A and E are there for some reason.

Thanks jim_m_58 that makes sense. Is there any way to create a label that large using a different (non-NUMBER) font?

If FONT_LARGE isn't large enough, you could always create a custom font. That's common with watch faces.
