Why is fontStyle hardcoded to Italic in the jetpack compose framework implementation?

private fun buildStyledTypeface(fontWeight: FontWeight, fontStyle: FontStyle) =
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 28) {
            Typeface.create(
                nativeTypeface,
                getAndroidTypefaceStyle(fontWeight, fontStyle)
            )
        } else {
            TypefaceHelperMethodsApi28.create(
                nativeTypeface,
                fontWeight.weight,
                fontStyle == FontStyle.Italic
            )
        }

fontStyle == FontStyle.Italic looks like a check if it’s italic, rather than a hardcoding of it? Where does this code exist?

ah - you're right - thank you

[dazza5000]

i misread it

[dazza5000]

the code is correct

[dazza5000]

i don't often see that kind of syntax in codebases so it threw me off

[dazza5000]

the code is here https://github.com/androidx/androidx/blob/androidx-main/compose/ui/ui-text/src/and[…]se/ui/text/platform/AndroidGenericFontFamilyTypeface.android.kt
