There are only three system wide fonts in Android; normal (Droid Sans), serif (Droid Serif), and monospace (Droid Sans Mono).

Applications can install fonts for themselves, but not for system-wide use.

To package your own font, include a truetype font file (.ttf) as an asset and use the Typeface class to load it, and the setTypeface method of TextView to use it.

To use a special font create a normal TextView:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/custom_font"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is the Chantelli Antiqua font."/>

</LinearLayout>

Then set a custom Typeface from an asset (this is your desired font):

    TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
    Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Chantelli_Antiqua.ttf");
    txt.setTypeface(font);

The code is from: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/customize-android-fonts/

I hope I could help.
