// try this custom adapter for spinner
class MyCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

        Context context;
        ArrayList<String> list;
        private int defaultPosition;

        public int getDefaultPosition() {
            return defaultPosition;
        }

        public MyCustomAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> objects) {
            super(context, 0, objects);
            this.context = context;
            list = objects;
        }

        public void setDefaultPostion(int position) {
            this.defaultPosition = position;
        }

        @Override
        public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {
            return getCustomView(position, convertView, parent);
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            return getCustom(position, convertView, parent);
        }

        public View getCustom(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

            View row = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, parent, false);
            TextView label = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/yourfontsname");
            label.setTypeface(tf);
            label.setText(list.get(position));

            return row;
        }

        public View getCustomView(int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {

            View row = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, parent, false);
            TextView label = (TextView) row.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "fonts/yourfontname");
            label.setTypeface(tf);
            label.setText(list.get(position));

            return row;
        }
    }

Class :

public class testActivity extends Activity {

    private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Belgium",
            "France", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain" };
    private Spinner mySpinner;
    private Typeface myFont;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.newlay);

        mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
        myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "gujarti.ttf");
        MyArrayAdapter ma = new MyArrayAdapter(this);
        mySpinner.setAdapter(ma);
    }

    private class MyArrayAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

        private LayoutInflater mInflater;

        public MyArrayAdapter(testActivity con) {
            // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(con);
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return COUNTRIES.length;
        }

        @Override
        public Object getItem(int position) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return position;
        }

        @Override
        public long getItemId(int position) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return position;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            final ListContent holder;
            View v = convertView;
            if (v == null) {
                v = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_spinner_style, null);
                holder = new ListContent();

                holder.name = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textView1);

                v.setTag(holder);
            } else {

                holder = (ListContent) v.getTag();
            }

            holder.name.setTypeface(myFont);
            holder.name.setText("" + COUNTRIES[position]);

            return v;
        }

    }

    static class ListContent {

        TextView name;

    }
}

Here is how you can do it, set your adapter as below:

mMsgAdap =new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.spinner_item_list, mCategories)
                {

                    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) 
                        {
                            View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                            ((TextView) v).setTypeface(StaticUtils.sTypeFace(getApplicationContext()));//Typeface for normal view

                            return v;
                        }
                    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) 
                        {
                            View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
                            ((TextView) v).setTypeface(StaticUtils.sTypeFace(getApplicationContext()));//Typeface for dropdown view
                            ((TextView) v).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#BBfef3da"));
                            return v;
                        }
                };
        mMsgAdap.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        mMsgSpnr.setAdapter(mMsgAdap);
        mMsgSpnr.setSelection(0);

and the typeface method I have taken statically inside StaticUtils class that I created is

public static Typeface sTypeFace(Context mCnxt) {
    Typeface mtypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(mCnxt.getAssets(),
            "fonts/forte-mt-1361539051.ttf");
    return mtypeface;
}

For changing the font of spinner items, you have to use custom spinner

try as to set custom Typeface for all TextView's in spinner :

Typeface typeface;
font_name_Adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>
                (this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,ARRLIST_FONTS)
       {
            public View getView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) {
               View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
               ((TextView) v).setTextSize(12);
               ((TextView) v).setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

                if(position<=ARRLIST_FONTS.size()){
                 typeface = 
                  Typeface.createFromAsset(Your_Current_Activity.this.getAssets(),
                               "fonts/yourfontname.ttf"); 
                     ((TextView) v).setTypeface(typeface);
                   }

                    return v;
     }

You would apply the font through your own custom SpinnerAdapter, in getView() and getDropDownView()

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
            View row = inflater.inflate(yourRowlayout, parent,
                    false);
       TextView make = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.Make);
        Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
                "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");
        v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
        v.setText(itemList.get(position));
        return row;
    }


public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
                View row = inflater.inflate(yourRowlayout, parent,
                        false);
           TextView make = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.Make);
            Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
                    "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");
            v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
            v.setText(itemList.get(position));
            return row;
        }
