Description

With the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the user has the ability to change the device's system fonts. This overrides the app fonts. I would like a way to figure out how to disable the system fonts for our app or override them with our app's fonts.

This issue is similar to #17858, #12978, #12989 but both of those issues were closed without resolution.

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "⏪Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.
