No, like others, I don't want to use custom fonts. I am looking for list of WebView safe fonts that can be used without using CSS3's custom @font-face, which loads ttf/wof/eot font from web/local storage.
More refined question would be: What are the list font's that are included with Android Operating System which can be used inside WebView?
For example, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif, etc font can be used (not sure), so where exactly to look for to be 100% sure?
Thanks
Webview: It uses the WebKit rendering engine to display web pages
According to the source code, android.webkit.WebSettings
contains the following fields:
private String mStandardFontFamily = "sans-serif";
private String mFixedFontFamily = "monospace";
private String mSansSerifFontFamily = "sans-serif";
private String mSerifFontFamily = "serif";
private String mCursiveFontFamily = "cursive";
private String mFantasyFontFamily = "fantasy";
Accordingly, these are the fonts.
There is probably more fonts buried somewhere in the WebKit. However, they do not appear to be accessible.
This complies with the default fonts of Linux:
Bottom line, there is no comprehensive list of fonts for the Android WebKit.
