Override getView method of the SimpleAdapter class, and Set Font on textview, which you want to change font, as below:

ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, menuItems,
                R.layout.list_item,
                new String[] { KEY_NAME, KEY_DESC, KEY_COST }, new int[] {
                        R.id.name, R.id.desciption, R.id.cost }){

 public View getView(View view)
{
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    Typeface hindiFont=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/DroidHindi.ttf"); 
    LinearLayout llMain=(LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
    TextView txtName=(TextView)llMain.findViewById(R.id.name);
    txtName.setTypeface(hindiFont); 
    TextView txtDescription=(TextView)llMain.findViewById(R.id.desciption);
    txtDescription.setTypeface(hindiFont);
    return llMain;
}
};
