How to convert TextStyle from Jetpack Compose to android.graphics.Typeface?

I need to draw text onto Canvas in Compose, for this purpose I need a TextPaint with android.graphics.Typeface.

Is there a way to easily convert Compose TextStyle to a android.graphics.Typeface?

    Currently the only workaround that i found is to provide with resources:

    val textTypeface: android.graphics.Typeface? =
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.O) LocalContext.current.resources.getFont(R.font.quicksand_light) else null
    

    However if android version < android oreo, idk how to provide the font, so i fallback to default fount.

    To draw text to canvas, you can do like this

    @Composable
    fun DrawText() {
        val paint = Paint().asFrameworkPaint()
        Canvas(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
            paint.apply {
                isAntiAlias = true
                textSize = 24f
                typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD) // your typeface
    
                //other methods like color, dither, fontMetrics, shadow etc...are also available 
    
            }
    
            drawIntoCanvas {
                it.nativeCanvas.drawText("Hello World", size.width/2, size.height/2, paint)
            }
        }
    }
    

    I think to convert TextStyle(compose library) to typeface will be a pain since no support from android, If you want to draw text to canvas I think this will be enough
