For Regional languages you need to read them as UTF-8 and then set the font.

I have followed the below steps and working fine.

Copy the sample URDU text in ms-word. Check the font of it.
Copy the font in assets.
While setting the textview text read it as UTF-8
Apply the font from Assets.

 Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/burnstown_dam.otf");
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
    tv.setTypeface(tf);


Typeface tf1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/Jameel Noori Nastaleeq       Urdu.ttf"");
    TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText);
    textView.setTypeface(tf1);
    textView.setText("یہ انگریزی نہیں");
