I would suggest you to not directly save font in Asset folder,rather create fonts folder under it and inside that save love.ttf font.

Then you can perform the magic as below.

  TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.custom); 
  Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/love.ttf"); 
  tv.setTypeface(face);

So, there will be firstly two possible reason why it doesn't work.

  1. Check if your font supports Japanese characters.

  2. You could have bad path of your font file.

    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Typeface tf=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/love.ttf");

You should have in your assets folder next subfolder named fonts. Then also check if you have correct suffix of font.
