I have some custom fonts in assets/fonts folder. Now I want to know how I can create separate fonts for different local just like string resource folder. So that depending on the language selected the fonts are also selected that are meant for that language only. Please help me to solve this out with an example.

Give the font files different names, and manually choose the right name given the locale. Assets, unlike resources, do not have resource sets, and so Android has no means to automatically choose different asset files based on device characteristics like locale.

@Anshuman: What, **specifically**, do you not understand how to do? What have you tried? What errors are you getting? – CommonsWare Mar 06 '12 at 14:43
