How to Set a Custom Font in the ActionBar Title?

Answer 1

Here's a code that did it for me:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    ...
    <item name="android:typeface">serif</item>
    ...
</style>

Look here for what fonts are available by default on android. From what I read adding other fonts is not possible without sub-classing your views, so I can't help you there.
