You have to change the font of the text of text view.

First put the font in your asset folder.

Then in your java file add code like this to change your font:

Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),
                    "Digital.ttf");
TextView digital= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.your_textView);
            digital.setTypeface(myTypeface);

Put Digital.ttf in your asset folder of your project.

This will might help you.

I put the ttf in the asset folder as digital.ttf and used the code as indicated but at runtime I get a NullPointerException on the setTypeface() line. – Lord of Scripts May 09 '14 at 23:33
Check the case as well... digital.ttf or Digital.ttf @LordofScripts – Avijit May 10 '14 at 05:28

yes you can do this ... place the ttf file in the assets folder and do the following code

 /**Font Typeface***/
        String fontPath = "fonts/DS-Digital.ttf";

    /**Font Typeface***/
    tf  = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fontPath);

and then finally set it to textview

TextView wordtext;
wordtext.setTypeface(tf);
