Answer 2

For regional languages, you need to read them as UTF-8, and then install the font.

I followed these steps and worked fine.

• Copy URDU sample to ms-word. Check the font.

• Copy the font into assets.

• When customizing text text, read it as UTF-8
• Apply font from Assets.

  Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/burnstown_dam.otf"); TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText); tv.setTypeface(tf); Typeface tf1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/Jameel Noori Nastaleeq Urdu.ttf""); TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.CustomFontText); textView.setTypeface(tf1); textView.setText("یہ انگریزی نہیں");
