title: Loading custom fonts from a URL in NativeScript
body: <p>NativeScript supports using custom fonts that are packaged in the app's <code>app/fonts</code> directory. One refers to them with CSS <code>font-family</code> rules. I need to be able to use a custom font that is loaded from a web site at run time.</p>
  
  <p>In native Android, one can load a font more or less directly from a web address (just open an input stream to the URL and feed it to the <code>Typeface</code> constructor).  In iOS, it's also possible (as per <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4942449/ios-programmatically-add-custom-font-during-runtime">this thread</a>). Is there any support for doing something similar in NS (use a custom font loaded from the web), other than dropping down into native code?</p>
