If i want to add a custom font say montserrat_bold.ttf ,can i just add only montserrat_ regular.ttf and use fontWeight.Bold to implement the former bold one?

Does montserrat_bold.ttf behave differently(looks different) with respect to [ montserrat_ regular.ttf plus fontWeight.Bold. ]

You can use a FontFamily, to define different fonts for each type (Regular, Medium, Bold etc.) like this:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/text/fonts
So it's recommended to use different ttf for each style.

If you don't provide the bold font, the system will use something called pseudo bold or fake bold, which is synthesized and has lower quality compared to the real bold font. More details here.
