Kako promjeniti font u Android widgetu - Android studio

bok,

naime početnik sam, i već sam sve živo probao ali jednostavno font se ne želi
promjeniti...

napravio sam jednostavan widget koji prikazuje točno vrijeme

i sad želim koristiti custom font

ali u Android studio skroz desno gdje je virtualni uređaj

tamo ne želi prikazati novi font

dok u layout pod design piše da font family: @font/pixel


ovo je code:

widget.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:src="@drawable/my_image" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:fontFamily="@font/pixel"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#FF0000"
        android:textSize="48sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

fonts.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<font-family xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <font
        android:fontStyle="normal"
        android:fontWeight="400"
        android:font="@font/pixel" />
</font-family>

molim pomoć

hvala

probao sam par metoda i sa java ali nula bodova:
