Answer 1

I am able to display telugu text in emulator as well as mobile. Here I am using NTR.ttf font UTF16/UTF-8.

Answer 2

You need to find a font file that:

• Has the Telugu glyphs, and
• Is either free for you to embed in an app (or is one that you have licensed to embed in an app)

Also, you can remove getBaseContext() and simply use getAssets().
