[Q]need help to change the contacts right column letters from english to greek

hi i have installed wm6.5 but i want to change the contacts right column letters (i am not talking about the keyboard) from english to greek because my contacts are in greek is there any way to achieve that thanks in advance for your answers

i think the best u can do is installing iContact is far superior to the manager that u r using right now and has a greek translation.

thanks for your answer but i would prefer doing it without adding any programs any other ideas?

AFAIK, its impossible without installing anything because there is no setting to change that. i might be wrong though...

Please try and be specific about things such as which ROM you are using (you'll need to be rooted to install fonts), etc.

Devnagari fonts for galaxy S

ScreenShot: Here
I used the steps mentioned here to install the fonts.
Both the ttf files are 7zipped and attached in the post.

Thank you! Installing now....

Arre mast yaar! Trying it out now!

Badluck here. After copying both files and restarting, phone was booted with default font.

lai bhari.............. but is that your own screen shot??...
anyways a great news

Just out of curiosity, in what specific countries is this type of writing used? Is this what we in Norway would call "Arabian" writing?
Sorry if I seem ignorant, but I am eager to learn.

Its a script thats used for a few Indian languages.

Punjabi font hega? Im downloading now thank you soo much bhai
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

I got around to trying it. Here is my input:
It works, but there are a few caveats:
1. Hindi fonts are displayed, but not properly. The font file(s) provided only supports basic devnagri fonts and not "joined" characters. For example it cannot properly display the word हिन्दी, because न and द are joined. Instead, they are separate characters.
2. Latin characters and spaces have become bigger. If you have app names, menu items, calendar items that are more than one line, the the second line gets cut off.
3. Make a backup of your original font files! You will most likely want to revert back because of 1 and 2

I want to read Hindi websites using the browser on my i9003 (different from i9000), will this font change from English language to Hindi completely all the menu text etc?, I don't want that just need the browser ability to render & read Hindi websites.

I am using Samsung GTI-9003 and whenever i am trying to paste the hindi fonts in to the system> fonts, it is not getting paste...
even i have try to delete the old fonts and try to paste the new,but it is rejecting...any help?

Yea, you can try it. But please note point 3 in my previous post. It does NOT change the regional language. It just gives the phone and programs ability to display devnagri fonts.
Or an easier option since you are only interested in browser capability is to use Opera for Android. Search around on google and you will see how enable devnagri support. But this is only for Opera, and not system wide.

You need to mount the partition in r/w mode. This requires root and an appropriate file manager such as File Expert.

easy way to read devnagari fonts
I used:
1. mangal.ttf from my windows machin XP/7
2. remaned mangal.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf
3. backup /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
4. replace DroidSansFallback.ttf with the new DroidSansFallback.ttf (renamed mangal.ttf) using ES file explorer
5. Reboot
Worked on may galaxy i9003

Ranjan,
Thanks for reporting this I will try your method & see if it works, what fw are you using?

try indian version of gingerbread DDJV9 released by samsung few days back through kies in india.Hindi fonts are working great

If you just want to make sure that anything that displays in Arabic will show actual characters,
replace /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf with a font that contains everything.

just log on google appz and search for "pdf reader"
that it

Hi,
The proplem is divided into 2 parts.
1. If what you're trying to read is in image ( most arabic rips are like that) and in that case a good reader will do; tried Aldiko.
2. If you're opening a script in Arabic and that is because the pre-installed languages doesn't support arabic letters presentation.
To solve that you'll need to add a font with Arabic characters and then recompile couple of libraries to enable the support. It wa so on my to-do and I never got to it.
You can search it if you're interested.
Cheers
