Support for Condensed Fonts

‎12-28-2020 14:29

In API 4.2, condensed fonts were available.  With API 5.0, only three system fonts are supported (light, regular and bold).  I tried to use the CSS "font-stretch" property, but that doesn't seem to be supported either.

 

Is there a way to use condensed fonts for API 5.0?  Substituting an image for each letter is not an optimal solution.

I think Tungsten-Medium might still be available in SDK 5 at the moment. Because it's no longer documented, its future is unclear.

Thanks Gondwana!  I do appreciate the information!  Unfortunately, any solution needs to be something that is officially supported long-term.  Maybe the folks at Fitbit would consider officially supporting the Tungsten-Medium font, especially if it's already installed on the SDK 5 devices.  Otherwise, I'm kind of stuck because 4.2 included officially supported font features that were dropped with 5.0.
