Just try this

Step 1: Download a kannada font .ttf file. (For example say brhknd.ttf).

Step 2: Now create a directory "fonts" in your assets folder in the android project.

Step 3: Now copy the brhknd.ttf file into assets/fonts folder in you Android project.

Step 4: Add these lines to your onCreate()

Typeface kannada = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/brhknd.ttf");

Step 5: Now provide this typeface to your TextView you want.

 textview= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tipstext);
 textview.setTypeface(kannada);
 textview.setTextSize(20);
 textview.setText( "Jackson dsilva mangalore");

    Hi,I am following the same steps. And I am able to display Tamil fonts but not Kannada fonts. I am targeting Android 4.0. Can you please tell me, where am I going wrong? or What font file you are using for Kannada? – Karthik Andhamil May 09 '13 at 06:03
  • Kannada fonts are not displaying in this way. – Braj Jun 24 '14 at 09:27
