Hello, I am new in .NET MAUI, I am having a problem of using fonts when deploying on android devices. The fonts have been registered in the program.cs, however in android device they do not work.

For anyone to answer we would need some code both .cs and .xaml to see what it is that you are doing

here is my program.cs

using CommunityToolkit.Maui;
using Dalle.Views;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using PanCardView;

namespace Dalle;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
			.UseMauiApp<App>()
			.UseCardsView()
            .UseMauiCommunityToolkit()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			{
				fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
				fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
                fonts.AddFont("Nexa-ExtraLight.ttf", "NexaLight");
                fonts.AddFont("Nexa-Heavy.ttf", "NexaHeavy");
            });


		builder.Services.AddSingleton<Dashboard>();
		builder.Services.AddSingleton<GenerationsOptionsView>();

#if DEBUG
		builder.Logging.AddDebug();
#endif

		return builder.Build();
	}
}

Please check the font's Build Action is MauiFont.

And test your application in the android emulator to exclude android device issue.
