REACT NATIVE COMPLETES VARIABLE FONT SUPPORT ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

Evan Katz shipped variable font settings to iOS, Android text, and TextInput in a single coordinated push, closing the last gaps in cross-platform typography control.

React Native now has complete variable font support across its text rendering stack. The work spans three complementary PRs merged in the last 24 hours: iOS text now parses CSS-compatible axis settings into CoreText variation dictionaries [1], Android text applies fontVariationSettings to Paint and includes variable axes in layout measurement cache identity [2], and TextInput on Android forwards the same prop through Fabric attributes and applies it after typeface updates [3]. This is coordinated work that treats variable axes as a first-class layout primitive, not an afterthought. Developers building typography-heavy apps on both platforms can now ship consistent font behavior without platform-specific workarounds. The implementation preserves the distinction between absent, explicitly cleared, and invalid values, so your fallback logic works as expected across all three surfaces.
