Multiple fonts associated with same TextView

Question

Is there any way to set different fonts for different states in a TextView? Let's say I want Helvetica Regular for normal state, and Helvetica Bold for pressed?

I know how to link a custom font with a text view, but not sure how to do same for multiple fonts and single TextView? Specifically, is there a way to achieve this behaviour through xml?

Update: I'm not looking into workarounds, like having HTML in TextView, or even replacing TextView with WebView. If it's not possible to achieve, I'd rather have one font

first of all, replacing textview with webview is an overkill. second, I have a huge app where all I need is to update fonts. — Anton, Jul 24 '13 at 00:52

Using Html.fromHtml comes in handy, but it is limited to the tags you can use. I personally only have used this to do Bold, Colors, italics.
Like this:

String myWords ="<FONT COLOR = "#992211">This is Red:</FONT><br>";
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(myWords));
