Add custom ttf fonts to app

[remicolin]

Implement custom fonts (ttf) file into the app.
The best approach is probably to migrate to expo first, cf #151

Hi @remicolin, @Iwueseiter,

I'm Juan Diego Carballo, a Full-Stack Web Developer specializing in mobile and blockchain technologies. I'm excited to propose my first contribution to the Proof of Passport project by addressing the issue "Add custom ttf fonts to app #158".

Proposed Approach:

Migrate to Expo: Before integrating custom fonts, it's essential to migrate the project to Expo as recommended in issue #151. This will streamline the development process and app publishing.
Custom Fonts Integration: After the migration, I will implement custom TTF fonts using the expo-font library, which allows for loading and using fonts easily across the app.
Testing on Devices: Given the complexity of native modules, particularly those related to NFC, it's crucial to test the app on actual devices to ensure the fonts and all functionalities perform as expected.
I am eager to leverage my skills to contribute effectively to the project. This integration not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the app but also aligns with the ongoing enhancements like NFC and proving modules.

someone is already working on #151 we'll wait expo implementation before implementing custom fonts

I am applying to this issue via OnlyDust platform.

My background and how it can be leveraged

I am a Software Engineer with experience of C, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and Recently Rust. I have written some programs both on the server side (ExpressJS) as well as on the client side (ReactJS) all using TypeScript.

I believe I will be able to implement custom fonts (ttf) file into the app.

How I plan on tackling this issue

• First I will migrate the project to Expo for easier font management.
• I will then install the expo-font package.
• Then load the fonts into my main App component.

Hi,

I'm Alvaro Lazarus, a Software Engineer diving into blockchain technologies. I'm experienced with Typescript, Python, Solidity and JavaScript. Really looking forward to gaining more experience by working on projects like this.

How I plan on tackling this issue

I see that @jorgezerpa is already working on the expo migration, it would be a pleasure to implement the custom fonts as soon as the migration is finished.

My approach:

• I will implement custom TTF fonts using the expo-font library
• Test on a device to ensure the fonts look and function as expected

I'm really excited to contribute to this project, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,
Lazarus

My background and how it can be leveraged

I have been a frontend dev for about 5 years and have worked on a lot of interactive web experiences where custom fonts were key to the user experience.

How I plan on tackling this issue

I could do it in 2 ways .
I could add the fonts to the project assets then set it as the default font
I could convert it to expo as the description recommends and do step 1, whatever the community decides

[remicolin]

hi, the expo migration is more complicated than expected #151
let's implement those custom font's without using expo

[remicolin]

@juandiegocv27 do you want to start working on it?
