Android: How to use Japanese Unihan glyphs?

4

I'm developing an app to teach Japanese. The problem is, the default font the system uses is using the Chinese variants of the characters, not the Japanese variants. For example, 漢 looks slightly different in Chinese fonts than in Japanese fonts even though it's the same Unicode codepoint. How can I specify that my app should use a Japanese font and not a Chinese one?

In case you don't find a better solution you might just use your own .ttf or .otf files, place them in /assets/fonts and load them using createFromAsset()
