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

try this

    val textPaint = TextPaint()
    val context = LocalContext.current
    Canvas(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
        textPaint.apply {
            typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.assets, "fonts/yourfont.ttf")
                ...
        }
        drawContext.canvas.nativeCanvas.drawText("test", yourStart, yourEnd, X, Y, textPaint)
    }
