Global custom font not working

[pavkatav]

💬 Question

I am trying to setup a global custom font, what i did:

• Added my .ttf file to assets/ Helixa-Regular.ttf
• Added assets: ['./assets'] to my react-native.config.js
• Created a mapping.json file in the root of my project { "components": {}, "strict": { "text-font-family": "Helixa-Regular" } }
• Added import { default as mapping } from './mapping.json' in my App.tsx and also added customMapping={mapping} to my ApplicationProvider
• I am on react-natove 0.71.8 so no linking is needed (tried it but it didn't help)
• I installed the podst, rebuild the app and i still get the Unrecognized font-family: Helixa-Regular error. When i change the value in mapping.json to something like Arial, it works.

@Fuksmate That works, thanks. Nothing in the docs about this.
