Looking for Ways to Support Multiple Languages with in Roku Channels

Hello,

We are currently developing a Roku channel that will support multiple Indian languages, and for this, we require font files that cover a wide range of characters. However, the font files we need for supporting all these languages exceed 2 MB in size which causes us to run into an issue. As you may know, the total file size of a Roku channel must be 4 MB or less, which makes it challenging to include large font files while staying within this limit.

We are looking for any solutions or recommendations.

    You will need to download the font files at runtime using roUrlTransfer.AsyncGetToFile into the tmp: path, then use them from that directory.
