All the above answers are right. If you want to use a Button or TextView with a different font throughout the app, here's what you do. 

public class FontsArePriceyTextView extends TextView {

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        setCostlyFont();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setCostlyFont();
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        setCostlyFont();
    }

    private void setCostlyFont() {
        if (!isInEditMode()) {
            Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "filenameofyourfont.ttf");
            setTypeface(tf);
        }
    }
}

Then in your layouts, replace TextView with yourpackagename.FontsArePriceyTextView. Eg.

<com.company.projectname.widgets.FontsArePriceyTextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Your awesome stylised text" />

You should be good to go.

Maybe its better to take a look at this posts which exactly answered what you are looking for:

1- How to change fontFamily of TextView in Android

2- How to change the font on the TextView?

for short you must do something like this : put the font in your assets folder in /fonts directory and then use this line of code:

Button bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fonts/epimodem.ttf");
bt.setTypeface(face);

You need to create fonts folder under assets folder in your project and put your TTF into it and in the main or in your activity you can set the fonts as 

TextView myTextView=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textBox);
Typeface typeFace=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/mytruetypefont.ttf");
myTextView.setTypeface(typeFace);
