I have some webViews and I simply want to use "Tahoma" font for them. There are some questions about how to change font but none of them really work! This was my idea from answers: (Which works on Browsers NOT on Android)

Style I used on index.html:

 @font-face{
    font-family: 'tahoma';
    src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/tahoma.ttf');}  


 // tahoma.ttf is located on asset folder in my project
 // body{font-family: 'tahoma';}

Web view code:

rootView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_page1, container, false);

 WebView timingView1= (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.TimingWebView);
 timingView1.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
