    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabs"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    app:tabMode="fixed"
    app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MyCustomTabLayout"/&gt;

    in style.xml

    ?attr/colorAccent ?attr/selectableItemBackground @style/MyCustomTabTextAppearance ?android:textColorPrimary 12sp ?android:textColorSecondary true

    Thank you very much for the fast respond.
    so you mean i should put this in styles.xml that contains a style and bind it from the Tabbar.axml right ?
    and yea i do see what do you mean its style and items
    for anyone how did not understand the code below
    this is how it should look like...

    sorry to bother again but
    this:
    item name="fontFamily" AndroidAsset/MyRegularFont.ttf item
    or this:
    item name="android:fontFamily" AndroidAsset/MyRegularFont.ttf item
    and i don't know about the reference i used :/
    it's probably wrong so how do i reference to it ?
    if you have any link so i read more about it and you don't waste your time any further...

    extract zip file and paste this file in asset folder.............

    Button button = FindViewById(Resource.Id.myButton);

    var font = Typeface.CreateFromAsset(Assets, "FontName.ttf");
    button.Typeface = font;

    @suraj007 thanks a lot,
    in the last link you sent the important part says it's working in java
    "We’re setting our custom fonts in the java code. The MainActivity.java is given below"
    and it is a bit hard for me to use java since i have ~0 experience in java
    i asked the rest of my question in another thread
    thnx again ^_^
