Is it good to use fonts in native Android apps?

Question

I am going to use font icons instead of pngs in my native android app. I cannot find any recommendation to use or not use font icons.

So is it bad practice or good to use font icons in native Android apps?

(By default, I mean that I do not use webview for the user interface)
