I'm creating a notification bar view from within a service by constructing a RemoteViews object with an XML layout file. I'd like to be able to change the typeface within this view according to a preference that the user selects. I can't seem to find a way to be able to change the typeface of a TextView without being in an activity which owns the TextView. Is there a way to do this without creating a bunch of different versions of the layout and changing the typeface each time?
