How to change font face of Webview in Android?

Question

I want change the default font of webview to a custom font. I'm using webview in developing an bilingual browser app for Android.

I tried getting an instance of custom typeface by placing my custom font in assets. But still couldn't set webview's default font to my font.

This is what I tried:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "myfont.ttf"); 
private WebView webview;
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setFixedFontFamily(font);

Can anyone correct this or suggest any other method to change webview's default font to a custom font?

Thanks!

I need the same thing done. Is there a solution at least by overriding some classes and/or methods?

Thank you
