You can use SpannableString with a custom TypeFaceSpan (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4826885/1785133) for actionBar title and subtitle.

SpannableString sbTitle = new SpannableString(getTitle());
Typeface typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "custom.ttf"); //cache it
sbTitle.setSpan(new CustomTypefaceSpan("custom", typeface), 0, sbTitle.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
getActionBar().setTitle(sbTitle);

Answer 3

You can do something like

SpannableString localSpannableString = new SpannableString("Penguin");
localSpannableString.setSpan(new TypefaceSpan(MainActivity.this, "PreludeFLF-BoldItalic.ttf"), 0, localSpannableString.length(), 33);

ActionBar localActionBar = getSupportActionBar();
localActionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#81D2F0")));
localActionBar.setTitle(localSpannableString);
