[android-developers] Using a symbol font

I have seen that it is possible to use custom fonts within our Android apps.
I am starting to build an app for tablets and need to use a specific symbol font.

I place it in a "font" directory under "assets" and load it via the Typeface.createFromAsset method.
I get back a Typeface object and assign it to my Paint object and then paint it out onto the canvas.

However, instead of getting the symbols, I get normal text.

Is there a special step necessary to get symbol fonts to output correctly ?
