It is not possible to install new fonts without root, the iFont app only works without root on very few devices (please check their app description).

If you developed an app that needs a specific font, you should use the Typeface solution.

  • @minafawzy It isn't possible to install new fonts on a system level without root access on most devices (with the exception of a few Samsung phones) like @thiagolr answered. The reason is because the fonts reside in the `system/fonts` directory, which isn't accessible to an app on a non-rooted device. However, you could try the Typeface solution as @thiagolr suggested. – Advait Saravade Jun 26 '15 at 12:16

The best solution is to ship the font in your app by yourself and work with Typeface, as mentioned by @thiagolr. The easiest solution is to use Calligraphy in your project, so you can apply a custom font in your whole project in an easy way.
