adding custom font in .net maui does nothing on android

Question

Also my font is not showing on my label, that is 100% not a chewy font, however its in there like it is supposed to:

 
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("Chewy-Regular.tff", "Chewy");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
                fonts.AddFont("Quicksand-Regular.tff", "QuicksandRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("Quicksand-Light.tff", "QuicksandLight");
                fonts.AddFont("Quicksand-Medium.tff", "QuicksandMedium");
                fonts.AddFont("Quicksand-SemiBold.tff", "QuicksandSemiBold");
                fonts.AddFont("Quicksand-Bold.tff", "QuicksandBold");
            });
        return builder.Build();
    }

it all looks right to me so Idk why its not showing up?

my quicksand font also doesnt show up, and this is supposed to show chewy in the image but its still opensans.

Hello,

You set the wrong font extension, your font extension should be ttf , but you set tff in fonts.AddFont("Chewy-Regular.tff", "Chewy");, Please change it to fonts.AddFont("Chewy-Regular.ttf", "Chewy");

Best Regards,
