Is there a way to set the default font family or I’ve to override in all “styles” (body1, h1, etc)?

hmmm, this doesn’t show up for me in the Typography from Material3 😕

Hello 🙂 Typography exists in material3, but it has different semantical values, there's no more h1-h6 and similar, but stuff like bodySmall , bodyLarge .

I'm not sure there's a public documentation representing this though @Nick Rout

But you can find the definition here: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]androidx/compose/material3/Typography.kt;l=75?q=Typography.kt

@matvei thanks for the info, but that’s not really the question 😅 the questions is how to set the same font family for everything at once. In the Material2 version there’s a defaultFontFamily parameter in the Typography class that doesn’t exists in the Material3 version of it.

Oh, I see 🙂

Yeah that a good question, I will let Nick to chime in

[Nick Rout]

We do have some documentation, see https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/themes/material#m3-type

[Nick Rout]

But yeah, there's currently no defaultFontFamily in M3 Typography. Not entirely sure why to be honest but it sounds like a good feature request

[Tgo1014]

Also right now I couldn’t find a way to “copy” the default implementation for each (titleLarge, titleMedium, etc) and just replace the font family, so basically I would have to create every component of the style just to replace the font 😕

[Nick Rout]

Yeah, but you could probably get away with overriding only the styles your app uses

[Nick Rout]

But I agree it would be nice to have a default
