Error on lollipoop

test files .otf run correctly but .ttf not. my solution for files .ttf was convert to .otf

http://www.files-conversion.com/font-converter.php

or

http://www.font2web.com/

for custom font for example, inside assets folder (../assets/fonts/birdman-webfont.otf):

Typeface birdman = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/birdman-webfont.ttf");
TextView text= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setTypeface(birdman);

note: if your file is .ttf and show ERROR in the convertion, change the extension to .otf manually and convert with http://www.files-conversion.com/font-converter.php
