That's right. You can't. Now, the thing is, why isn't this supported, and would it be supported? What if I'm developing a rich text editor, and want to allow the user to download and use whatever fonts s/he wants? What's the reason for AssetManager to be marked final? Is this by design, perhaps a security thing, or it's something else?
