Perhaps a little late for you, but for other Android users this may be very useful.

Unfortunately, Android doesn't provide the quick, easy and clean way you're looking for to change the font for your entire app. But recently I've looked into this matter and created some tools that allow you to change the font without any coding (you can do it all through xml, styles and even text appearances). You can read all about it on this blog, and see the github project here.

Here's an example of how to apply these tools. Put all your font files in assets/fonts/. Then, declare those fonts in an xml file and load this file early in your app with TypefaceManager.initialize(this, R.xml.fonts); (e.g., in the onCreate of your Application class). The xml file looks like this:

    
    
        
            aspergit
            someFont
        
        
            Aspergit.ttf
            Aspergit Bold.ttf
            Aspergit Italic.ttf
            Aspergit Bold Italic.ttf
        
    

    
    
        
            bodoni
            anotherFont
        
        
            BodoniFLF-Roman.ttf
            BodoniFLF-Bold.ttf
        
    

Now you can use them in your style or xml with the flFont attribute. Here's how to apply the font to all texts in your entire app:

Now you can make an layout.xml looks like this:

Don't forget to apply the theme in your Android manifest.
