    context: Context,
    request: FontRequest,
    handler: Handler,
    cancellationSignal: CancellationSignal?,
    callback: FontsContract.FontRequestCallback
): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Create a typeface object given a font request. The font will be asynchronously fetched, therefore the result is delivered to the given callback. See FontRequest. Only one of the methods in callback will be invoked, depending on whether the request succeeds or fails. These calls will happen on the caller thread. Note that the result Typeface may be cached internally and the same instance will be returned the next time you call this method with the same request. If you want to bypass this cache, use fetchFonts and buildTypeface instead.

Parameters
context Context: A context to be used for fetching from font provider. This value cannot be null.
request FontRequest: A FontRequest object that identifies the provider and query for the request. May not be null.
handler Handler: A handler to be processed the font fetching. This value cannot be null.
cancellationSignal CancellationSignal?: A signal to cancel the operation in progress, or null if none. If the operation is canceled, then will be thrown.
callback FontsContract.FontRequestCallback: A callback that will be triggered when results are obtained. May not be null.
