Problem is not connected with your custom font - it is connected with TextView.

You are not inflating layout to HomeActivity. Missing part:

setContentView(R.layout.your_home_activity_layout)

Put it between lines protected void onCreate() and SetFont usfnt1

@Freeman `super.onCreate(paramBundle) setContentView(R.layout.activity_home)` should be placed before findviewbyid. You are trying to find view when layout is not inflated. – wdeb Sep 28 '16 at 08:22

Have you tried setting your content view? Add the follow in your onCreate()

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

Have you tried using a different font, or even an .otf file instead? – Sep 28 '16 at 04:01
