Font Typeface doesn't work

TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1); 
Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font.ttf"); 
tv.setTypeface(face);

I am unable to see the textview typeface changed. I have "font.ttf" file in assets folder. Basically, I am intended to show "Urdu" word in that textview (requirement) and therefore added urdu font in assets. Yet it is showing me "WORD" in English.

Thanks for help.

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/burnstown_dam.otf");
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
    tv.setTypeface(tf);


    Typeface tf1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/Jameel Noori Nastaleeq Kasheeda.ttf");
    TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
    textView.setTypeface(tf1);
    textView.setText("Your Font Language Here");

Android doesn't support the full range of ttf fonts. Here is a font that I have used personally in my app. Try using this instead. If this one works, and your urdu one doesn't then your code it correct, and Android does not support your font. If neither work, then something is wrong with your code.
