Answer 1

I guess you may have already found the answer, but if not (and for other developers), you can do it like this:

1.you want to save the "Helv Neue 67 Med Cond.ttf" in to assets folder. then

For TextView

  TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
  Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Helv Neue 67 Med Cond.ttf");
  txt.setTypeface(typeface);

For Button

  Button n=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
  Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Helv Neue 67 Med Cond.ttf");
  n.setText("show");
  n.setTypeface(typeface);
