Java Canvas - How can I implement my own fonts and draw them to my text

Question

I am using Canvas and Paint to draw my text. There is no option that I can find to change font type

    finalScorePaint.setTextSize(72);
    finalScorePaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    canvas.drawText("Your Score is:", 250, 450, finalScorePaint);

How can I do this?

Im extending the view class. The getAssets() method doesnt work in the view class only in activity. How can I access it? — Divergent, Jun 08 '14 at 01:53
