Over to Ryan who is currently working on font in Android X Core.
Couple of questions and notes.
- What exception is thrown during loading font?
- What devices are you using? Does this happen on Pixel?
- We cannot check in a raw font file. If it is copied from other third party projects, please don't include it.

Hi,
Could you provide the information requested in
We're unable to use a raw font file from unknown sources, so it would be helpful to understand the issue so that we can recreate it without that specific file. If it's from a specific source, please let us know that source so that we can evaluate whether it might be usable.
Thanks!

Apologies, this font file was provided by our designer. However, it is currently the Chinese New Year holiday, and we are all on break. I am unable to reach her at the moment. I will confirm the origin of this font with her as soon as we return to work. The font 'helvetica_roman_semib' can be downloaded online in its regular weight, but it's possible she made some modifications to it.
Description
When I use the ResourcesCompat.getFont() method to load the helvetica-roman-semib font, the application crashes. I discovered that the issue arises because the TypefaceCompat.createFromResourcesFontFile() method uses different sTypefaceCompatImpl implementations. Specifically, the sTypefaceCompatImpl implementations for Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O cause the application to crash.
