What a coincidence. I'm also researching that topic at the moment. And as far as I understand there are two approaches.
1. You can integrate one of these fully-featured True Type font libraries for OpenGL. I believe you will have to go the native code route because I'm not aware of a Java/Android-specific library. However, you have the benefit of having true 3D fonts rendered with polygons. 2. This seems to be the Android standard approach: pre-render an atlas / map texture with all letters and symbols you need using a Bitmap, Canvas and a font of your choice. The Android tools available are very straightforward to use and I guess that'll be the way to go for me. The only problem here is: you need to take care of rendering the letters with correct spacing and line breaks etc. The letter spacing can be determined in the map generation step, though.
