I have a TTF font file which I can double click in windows and click install and that font gets installed. But in case of Android

Putting TTF in /system/fonts alone doesn't help
Using font changers from market (what they do is basically put the TTF file in the fonts directory renaming it to Roboto) works, but they change system wide font

What I want is, use my default font everywhere except in say an Urdu eBook which declares specific Urdu font to be used which I want to install.

More like a Windows approach to install a font, how can I do that in Android? I'm using 4.4.4

The first link says it's not possible which I don't agree with. – meowmeowbeans Nov 11 '14 at 7:38
What do you mean you "don't agree" with it? The fact that you want it to be possible doesn't mean it is. – eldarerathis Nov 14 '14 at 5:40
