I am trying to use multiple sizes of the Roboto font without having to load multiple instances of it as custom bitmap fonts. The new scalable fonts are awesome for this purpose.
While looking at the device reference guide here:https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/reference-guides/devices-reference/ I noticed that the fr955 is the only watch that supports the RobotoBlack font, and I was curious if this was an oversight or a software limitation for some reason. I see the different Noto Sans fonts have a bold option for Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, etc. but feels like a shortcoming having to use one of those just to use the numbers. Also, there are some very slight, but noticeable, differences between Noto Sans and Roboto.
Is there a reason that RobotoRegular and RobotoItalic are available, as well as RobotoCondensedBold and RobotoCondensedRegular, but the regular RobotoBold or RobotoBlack are not available as Vector Fonts? It almost feels like these were chosen at random without any conformity.
As of now, my only options are to load multiple sizes of RobotoBold as custom fonts, or choose between BionicBold, NanumGothicBold, or one of the non-Latin NotoSans fonts.
Is there an option I am missing to possibly make the RobotoRegular font bold, or change its weight? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
