Description

The Attribute Inspector does not handle displaying the Typeface of a TextView very well. Ideally, the property would be displayed as Typeface Roboto-Bold with the right-aligned value text styled with the Typeface. This is made a bit complex because the Typeface class doesn't contain methods for querying the name. A possible implementation could read from assets until it finds a font file whose Typeface == the TextView's Typeface, and we can use the name of the file as the value.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to load font files from assets and compare Typeface objects to find a matching file name, then display the name in the attribute inspector.
