cannot see my font on emulator

Hello, I want to develop an application with my local font (burmese/myanmar). May I know how to see my font in emulator. I googled & found that I need to make root but I don't know how. I don't know where to type these commands example link

1. adb push su /data/local
2. adb shell 
3. #su
4. #mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
5. # cd /system/xbin
6. # mv su osu
7. # cat /data/local/su > su // I've got an error!!! Cannot create su: Out of memory!

After rooting my emulator (& install font in it), I can see font. I downloaded su from [link] http://androidsu.com/superuser/ In Android Basic "Crystal Ball Applications. 3.2 Customizing Buttons & Labels" section, instructor said custom fonts will be in advanced class. May I know when ? I don't see in BlogReader application. so, It may be in next project?

Hi May,

We might touch on this in the next project, but it's a lower priority thing to teach, so I don't think it will make the final cut. Here's a link to one approach you could try: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3424165/can-i-embed-a-custom-font-in-an-android-application
