Answer 1

This may be the late reply but might help someone with the same issue. Set BuilAction to Android Asset for font file. (Right click on fontfile->BuildAction select AndroidAsset)

Answer 2

Try this:

Typeface tf = Typeface.CreateFromAsset(Application.Context.Assets, "fonts/KhmerOS.ttf");

Answer 3

Try this :)

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Label), typeof(MyLabelRenderer))]
namespace App3.Droid.Debug
{
    class MyLabelRenderer : LabelRenderer
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Label> e)
        {
        base.OnElementChanged(e);

        var label = (TextView)Control;
        Typeface font = Typeface.CreateFromAsset(Forms.Context.Assets, "your font name.otf/ttf");
        label.Typeface = font;
    }
}
}

Note: Put Fonts to Assets and set property "Build Action on AndroidAsset and Copy to Output Directory to Copy Always"

Edit your code as

Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/font name.ttf");
tx.setTypeface(custom_font);
