title: Custom Font not working on Android
body: <p>I am doing the below. All I get is the basic font, not my custom symbol font.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <pre><code>     Paint pnt = new Paint();
      // SymbolNo is 38. Returns string "&amp;" which is correct in normal font.
      String symbolText = Character.toString((char)SymbolNo); 
  
      // Should adopt a symbol font and draw symbol to screen instead. But I just see "&amp;"
      Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(m_context.getAssets(), "fonts/myFont.TTF" ); 
      pnt.setTypeface(tf);
  
      m_canvas.drawText(symbolText,x, y, pnt);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my font is in <code>assets/fonts/myFont.TTF</code></p>
