//Why don't you keep the created typface object in memory so that you don't create every time the text view is getting created.

//Following is a sample class that creates and cache the typeface object:

public class TypeFaceProvider {

    public static final String TYPEFACE_FOLDER = "fonts";
    public static final String TYPEFACE_EXTENSION = ".ttf";

    private static Hashtable<String, Typeface> sTypeFaces = new Hashtable<String, Typeface>(
        4);

    public static Typeface getTypeFace(Context context, String fileName) {
    Typeface tempTypeface = sTypeFaces.get(fileName);

    if (tempTypeface == null) {
        String fontPath = new StringBuilder(TYPEFACE_FOLDER).append('/').append(fileName).append(TYPEFACE_EXTENSION).toString();
        tempTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath);
        sTypeFaces.put(fileName, tempTypeface);
    }

    return tempTypeface;
    }
