Try this:

    TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
    Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Chantelli_Antiqua.ttf");
    txt.setTypeface(font);

Note that file extension is "ttf" search in google for any font for download in this extension

for example: http://www.creamundo.com/

In code you are using fonts/CURLZ_.otf as path but you say that font file is directly inside assets so your code should be

Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"CURLZ_.otf");

if there is no fonts folder inside assets folder.

I didn't test it but I think it may help you:

  TextView mWeddingDataandTime=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.wedding_weddingtime_txt);
  Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/CURLZ_"); 
  mWeddingDataandTime.setTypeface(face);

 Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"CURLZ_.otf");

Below is code which I used in my project & it's working... You might need to do some changes

  Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(),"segoeuil.ttf");
  TextView loantext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.loantext);
  length1.setTypeface(myTypeface);

1) Put font in assets folder instead of fonts folders 2) instead of getAssests() in you code use "this.getAssets()" or "youractivity.this.getAssets()

Thank You
