Remarks

Sets TrueType or OpenType font variation settings. The settings string is constructed from multiple pairs of axis tag and style values. The axis tag must contain four ASCII characters and must be wrapped with single quotes (U+0027) or double quotes (U+0022). Axis strings that are longer or shorter than four characters, or contain characters outside of U+0020..U+007E are invalid. If a specified axis name is not defined in the font, the settings will be ignored.

Examples, <ul> <li>Set font width to 150.

<code>
              Paint paint = new Paint();
              paint.setFontVariationSettings("'wdth' 150");
</code>

</li>

<li>Set the font slant to 20 degrees and ask for italic style.

<code>
              Paint paint = new Paint();
              paint.setFontVariationSettings("'slnt' 20, 'ital' 1");
</code>

</li> </ul>
