pretty strange. is the font ever actually loading? try printing after the font is loaded to see if there’s some error loading. followed the demo from scratch and seems to work
I was using Redux and having a similar issue. I resolved it when I went through the Redux flow (dispatching an action and having a reducer that updated state, then passing it down to the component via mapStateToProps). In case thats helpful…
Has this been solved?
I got the same problem even I followed the expo doc. It keeps throwing the error fontFamily "BreeSerif-Regular" is not a system font and has not been loaded through Font.loadAsync.
I was having this same issue. I created a brand new project to test out the functionality of the documentation and that worked for me. I took the dependencies from the new package.json in tried them in my app. This fixed the issue and allowed the fonts to be loaded in my existing project.
Not sure the exact issue, but it seems that upgrading expo from 35.0.1 to 36.0.0 fixed it for me. I had to update a few other packages, but I suspect that was the one causing the trouble. The version of expo-font stayed at 8.0.0 for me.
