Answer 1

add ur font file in assets folder of your project, then with the help of setTypeface() function set the font for textview. I have't try'd it bt i think u will surely find it helpful.

Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAsset(),"malyalam.fnt");

and then add it to your textview like below

textView.setTypeFace(typeFace);

hope this will work for u, keeping my fingers crossed :)
