you can use simple HTML tags in your strings. You can do the following:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>S</b>tudent <b>L</b>ogin"));

This way S and L will become bold, while all other chars will be regular.

If you do not want to use spannable you can use this :

String sourceString = "<b>" + id + "</b> " + name; 
mytextview.setText(Html.fromHtml(sourceString));

First of all set your font to the TextView

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/myFont.ttf");
textView.setTypeface(myTypeface);

Now, You can achieve different size of S and T using SpannableString

String s = "STUDENT LOGIN";
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString(s);
ss.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 0, 1, 0);       // Set Size
ss.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 8, 9, 0);       // Set Size
textView.setText(ss);

Here replace 2f according to size you want.

0 is starting index of S and 1 is ending index.

8 is starting index of L and 9 is ending index.

If you don't want to use default font and want to use different font without hassle, just use this library. You can apply custom font to whole app or particular TextView.

Example for specific TextView :

<TextView
    android:text="@string/hello_world"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    fontPath="fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf"/>

Follow the instruction from read me file and you will get what you want.

Find font family then Get it font yourfont.ttf file from internet and paste into assets folder in android.

Then apply your Textview

Typeface customTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "font/custum_font.ttf");
myTextView.setTypeface(customTypeface);
