Linking/quoting a relevant discussion on CZO: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/243-mobile-team/topic/flutter.3A.20.23F64.20bundling.20fonts/near/1570370 Android has a feature called "Downloadable Fonts":
It seems possible in theory to use this feature and get those advantages; see a sketch of how we might try: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/243-mobile-team/topic/flutter.3A.20.23F64.20bundling.20fonts/near/1570476 But it doesn't currently seem worth the effort for us: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/243-mobile-team/topic/flutter.3A.20.23F64.20bundling.20fonts/near/1570489 |
We'll probably want to bundle more fonts into the app, like Source Sans 3, which we use for most text in Zulip web. But now at least we can see the process works! :) Fixes: zulip#64

Zulip web uses the font Source Sans 3 for most text, and Source Code Pro for code blocks and code spans.
Currently, in zulip-flutter as well as in the zulip-mobile RN app, we use system fonts. This has advantages but also disadvantages:
It would be neat to try using the same fonts as on web. Here's Flutter upstream's cookbook recipe for using a custom font:
