We can use custom fonts using this way,

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

Refer this tutorial for Full knowledge.

You simply need to put the fonts .ttf file in your assets folder and assign it to a text field or anything you want to apply it to in your main activity like this:

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

Here's a great tutorial that will teach you all you need to know about this: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/customize-android-fonts/
