public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

 }
}

Here is my index.html

   font-family: MyCustomFont;
   src: url("NotoSansSinhala-Regular.eot") /* EOT file for IE */
  }

You would basically need to root the device to install Sinhala text on Android 4.4 , but it works on Android 5.0+

You would basically need below steps :

  1. Copy the font files to /system/fonts
  2. Download the fallback_fonts.xml file from /etc
  3. Open the fallback_fonts.xml file and modify it by adding your font names .Copy the file back to the /etc directory.
  4. Change the permissions of your fallback_fonts.xml file AND the font files to 644 or -rw-r–r–
