Save your custom font file in a folder fonts inside the assets folder.
for example:
assets/fonts/trado.ttf
and make sure your font extension (i.e ttf in your case) is in lower case.

How to change the font on the TextView?
(16 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to set a custom font by default for TextView in android app. Will i need to create custom view for this ? Or is there any other way to do it except for loading it from assets folder and applying them individually?
Is there a way that a custom font can be directly used in xml, just like "sans","serif"
In your asset folder create a folder named fonts and then access it like this :
TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview03);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/YourFile.otf");
text.setTypeface(tf);
First download the .ttf file of the font you need (urfont.ttf). Place it in the assets folder(Inside assest folder create new folder named "fonts" and place it inside it).
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/urcustomfont.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
tv.setTypeface(tf);
This question has previously been answered:
How to change the font on the TextView?
Default font is Droid Sans. Also can have Droid Sans Mono and Droid Serif. These can be changed through either using setTypeface, or through editing the android:typeface XML
As already stated, you can use custom fonts by the method described by AndroidWarrior but keep in mind licensing issues as well as the performance of your app if you add lots of custom fonts.

Get your required Malayalam font into your assets folder of your application. And, follow the below steps -
Just use this font to your TextView with Typeface like below code
Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"malyalam.fnt");
and then add it to your textview like below
textView.setTypeFace(typeFace);

Update
I just tested below code with one malayalam font. Its working fine. Try with that -
TextView t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
t.setText("മലയാളം");
Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"AnjaliOldLipi.ttf");
t.setTypeface(typeFace);
I am creating an app which uses math fonts like lambda,integral etc in android. And how could i use an keyboard for that? plz help nothing found on google
If you have a .ttf font file with your symbols, place it in the /assets folder then use it on a TextView like this:
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id...);
tv.setTypeface(font);
As for using the keyboard see:

I am trying to use custom font in android. I have written java code as given below.
TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.customfont);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Molot.otf");
txt.setTypeface(font);
where I have stored the custom font in "./assets/fonts/" folder.
But, I am getting nullpointerexception on the 3rd line.
Can anybody give me the solution for this issue? Thanks
Android supports only TTF font type not OTF. Check this link
"RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made" when loading font
Android supports OTF as well. Your font may be corrupt.
Download delicious font from www.exljbris.com/delicious.html. It is an otf font and it works for me.
Try this
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "/fonts/Molot.otf");
