How to retrieve a list of available/installed fonts in android?

by

Taken from Mark Murphy’s answer on the Android Developers mailing list:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Typeface.html

There are only three fonts: normal
(Droid Sans), serif (Droid Serif), and
monospace (Droid Sans Mono).

While there may be additional fonts
buried in WebKit somewhere, they
appear to be inaccessible to
developers outside of WebKit. 🙁

The only other fonts are any TrueType ones you bundle with your application.

Edit: Roboto is a new font which came in with Android 4.0. You can use this library project to use it in all versions back to API level 4 https://github.com/mcalliph/roboto-text-view
