The font will be asynchronously fetched, therefore the result is delivered to the given callback. See[FontRequest](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/FontsContract#fetchFonts(android.content.Context,%20android.os.CancellationSignal,%20android.provider.FontRequest))and[buildTypeface](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/FontsContract#buildTypeface(android.content.Context,%20android.os.CancellationSignal,%20kotlin.Array))instead. | Parameters || |----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `context` | [Context](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Context.html#):A context to be used for fetching from font provider.
