- Android Compose
- Compose Multiplatform
Current release line: 2.1.x

Open the FontHelper (FF) tool window from the IDE right side. The main screen is now split into Setup and Fonts tabs to reduce long scrolling.

When importing multiple files, Font Helper maps files to weight/style by filename keywords (case-insensitive).
Customize matching rules in:
Settings > Tools > Font Helper Settings
| Font Weight | Normal Keyword | Italic Keyword |
|---|---|---|
| Thin | -thin |
-thinitalic |
| ExtraLight | -extralight |
-extralightitalic |
| Light | -light |
-lightitalic |
| Regular | -regular |
-italic |
| Medium | -medium |
-mediumitalic |
| SemiBold | -semibold |
-semibolditalic |
| Bold | -bold |
-bolditalic |
| ExtraBold | -extrabold |

If multiple files match the same slot, Font Helper opens a conflict dialog with Prev/Next slot navigation so you can choose one file per slot.
Google import uses download/list?family=... metadata first, then downloads only selected files.
- Marked as experimental in UI.
- Manifest list is cached temporarily to reduce repeated requests.
- Downloaded files are cached and reusable.
- Clear Cache removes downloaded cache files and cached manifests.
