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.

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

BE more specific with details.

When you say files, are you talking about apps or like. zip files? If apps then they are in the app launcher. For other files you need a file explorer like estrong file explorer available on the app market.

[HOW-TO]Changing system icons with Froyo

HOW TO CHANGE SYSTEM ICONS ON FROYO
Hi @all! Just want to change system icons,just like in the CM7. So,i noticed that in /system/app Apks there are some *.pro files,but the CM7 ROM has *.png files. So today i'm gonna teach how to do this on Froyo.
First of all,pick an Apk from CM7 ROM and extract it. Navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi/ and you will find some *.png files. Search the one with "ic_launcher" prefix and rename his extension from .png to .pro. Then open with 7-zip an LG stock Apk and navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi. Replace ic_launcher original file file with the renamed one and voila,icon is changed!
You can also change other icons with this method.
Tested on openOptimus.

thanks - was going to do this now I know!

Can anyone get for me the Samsung Chinese keyboard?

Hi, I really would like to get the Samsung SGS Chinese keyboard for my Euro-version SGS running Darky 10.1. Does anyone have this or could provide it?
Thanks

sorry...bump.
Anyone have this or knows where to get it? BTW, with my limited Chinese ability, I actually downloaded a Samsung keypad app for the SGS i9000 from a Chinese site. But it would not install and I don't know if its even Chinese. I can post/attach that, but not sure it would do any good.

[deleted this because double posted]

Chinese Keyboard
Here are the APK and library files essential to install the chinese keyboard. Put them with root explorer to \system\app and \system\lib
samsungime.apk

You are awesome. I was not expecting this.
Funny thing is, I got an update to my Smart Keypad Pro w/ Chinese app today that allows me to use it in the dictionary apps that previously were not compatible (the character selection block was hidden for some reason while inputing into some text input fields). But I'm going to download the attached and see how good it is. Thank you so much.

I'm not a Swipe fan, but I'm willing to try it. However, there seems to be a ROM called dxjv9 and all the search results on these forums point to those. Did you mean search the internet?

Could you tell us which rom you are running?
I think you could be interested in the solution from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901424
Or:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798380
The first one illustrates how to add a font without manipulating your fallback fond. I don't know if this method can be used on the version of android you are running.
You can download the attatchment of the second post which is a font that should render good.
Just extract the file, copy it to your sd and use a Root Explorer of your choosing to first mount the /system as r/w, then copy it to /system/fonts/ replacing the previous one. Then you must change the permissions of that file to the same value as the other fonts (in most Explorers it's by long pressing the file and selecting pemissions). Then mount it back as r/o. Reboot and it should work.
It you want to use the method of the first link, just rename the fond of the second one to an appropriate name.
---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------
And if you want your whole rom to be in telugu, I can help you to translate all the strings and get them in CyanogenMod. (would be quite some work)

I also found this:
http://www.2shared.com/complete/qVvNjvis/Gautami.html
It's the default fond that comes with Windows.
The one I attatched is one from the ttf-indic-fonts package from Debian. Just rename the .txt to .ttf
Be carefull when replacing the fallback ttf with these two as they only give the specific characters.

Hi I'm using stock ROM ( I think ) , i didn't flash any other ROMs into my phone. I just rooted my phone with superone click. And i installed Gauthami.ttf which is a Telugu font. No problem in Firefox browser but the characters are not decoding in Google Translator and SMS. I'm getting only boxes.There is no fallback xml fies in /system/etc/ ( i tried with root explorer).
Edit: I replaced DroidSans.ttf with Gauthami.ttf but i didn't do with fallback.ttf.
