If you want to use a font which is not default (like "Helvetica") for the text in Android application then put the font file(Helvetic.ttf) in assets folder and do use this code as below:

Typeface tf= Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Helvetica.ttf");
  TextView mTextView =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
    mTextView.setTypeface(tf);
