Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Bamini.ttf");    
    String tamil_string="செய்திகள்";
    //creating intance of TamilFotnUtil Class
    TamilFontUtil tfUtil = new TamilFontUtil();

   //Convert Tamil font encording using the utility.
    String tamilStringEncoded =  tfUtil.convertTamilString(tamil_string);

add below line inside the the style

@font-face {font-family: MyCustomFont; src: url("Bamini.ttf")}body {font-family: MyCustomFont, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: black}"

for example

<html> <head>

 <title>example</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

 <style type="text/css">@font-face {font-family: MyCustomFont; src: 

url(file:///android_asset/Bamini.ttf)}body {font-family: MyCustomFont, Verdana, Arial, 

sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: black}</head><body>
