Description

I cannot seem to change the font family property of the button text here is what i have:

<Button onPress={() => this.validateUser()} style={styles.btnSignIn} containerStyle={styles.btnContainerSignIn}>SIGN IN</Button>

The styling is as follows: btnContainerSignIn: { paddingTop: 12, paddingBottom: 12, marginLeft: -5, marginRight: -5, backgroundColor: '#386376', borderRadius: 3, }, btnSignIn:{ color: '#fff', fontFamily: 'Arimo', },

The font family is Arimo and it has been imported properly and seems to be working everywhere else except the button. Anyone know a way around this?

Research direction
Investigate the react native button component source to see how it handles the fontFamily prop. Check if the Button component passes style props to the underlying TouchableOpacity or Text component. Look at the documentation or examples in the repository. The issue may be resolved by ensuring fontFamily is applied to the Text element inside the button, not the container.
