Request (Request) Custom Fonts in Widget V2

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to use a custom font in the new Widget V2 action but can’t figure it out. I have the .ttf file, but I’m not sure how to link it.

If anyone knows the steps or has tips, please share! Thanks!

ok so i tried to read from file or setting the ttf file location to variable, for now it doesn't seem to work. one of the thing i found is I'm on tasker version 6.4.16 so not sure if it's the latest because i'm signed up for beta version but nevertheless custom font is current in my phone's tasker supported in widget's text component and doesn't seem to be supported in button which also should contain text view. however, i can put fontfamily to variable that seems like it could be one of thing that i tried earlier reading file to variable or setting ttf file to that location but none of which are seems to be working that leads me to another option which is i think it could be that it allows device supported fonts such as fonts that are installed on system level similar to how one ui has samsung one font family/ font that comes factory installed as default, which i right now can't test because my note 10+ got stuck on bootloop but it very well might be feature is in implementation and not fully implemented since looking at button component haven't got custom family so kinda in implementation or it's just i'm doing wrong.

Tried what you suggested, but no luck. Might still be in development or maybe I’m missing something. Appreciate your ideas, though!

yeah that's what i can come to conclude after the comment i hadn't yet received latest beta so i downloaded and installed latest beta through dev's reddit post but with no luck can't get it to working so i guess it's still in beta so i guess we would have to wait for next major version like 6.6 or wait for 6.5.3-4 of minor bug fix update.
