Q: 

Custom Font Issue In Android

Hi All,

I am trying to use custom font in android. I have written java code as given below.

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.customfont);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/Molot.otf");
txt.setTypeface(font);

where I have stored the custom font in "./assets/fonts/" folder.

But, I am getting nullpointerexception on the 3rd line.

Can anybody give me the solution for this issue? Thanks

+1  A: 

Android supports only TTF font type not OTF. Check this link

Please note that the Font name you are entering is case sensitive. If you are still stuck up i probably think it should be a issue with the Font file you are using. Try downloading a different font TTF file and loading it.After a quick googling i found this website which can convert OTF to TTF. May be you can give a try http://onlinefontconverter.com/
