While per application/activity fonts are not supported, I suggest you can try to install the fonts in your system during activity startup. The font files should be copied to $HOME/.fonts and to be sure that the fonts get "registered", run the command fc-cache, and then you can start up your activity. I notice that Times New Roman is in your font list. Be careful with that, since it comes with a number of restrictions wrt redistribution - see http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ and http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/eula.htm for the details.
