Everything is fine here, have you added the font to the Assets folder? — Arif Nadeem, Mar 10 '12 at 20:16

Save your custom font file in a folder fonts inside the assets folder.

for example:

assets/fonts/trado.ttf

enter image description here

and make sure your font extension (i.e ttf in your case) is in lower case.
