[Q] How to change system fonts - Wildfire General

Hi there,
I live in Armenia and recently I bought an HTC Wildfire and found out that it doesn't support Armenian fonts. Instead of Armenian fonts I can only see "[]"s.
Can you please tell me how can I change DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf to another font type (eg. Tahoma, Arial Unicode etc) which support Armenian symbols.
I rooted the phone with unrevoked 3.21 and when I try to do adb remount via android sdk tools, I couldn't make it work because I couldn't get full access.
Can you please help me with this issue. Is there a way to change the system fonts of Android system? Is it possible to do it from phone directly?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thank you very much, I'll be grateful for any solutions.

Yup...it should work if you just install the relevant font file under the Windows folder. I did this for chinese, and it works fine.

Armenian language (and may be others) support

After a few hours of research, I found the way to make this "machine" display Armenian fonts.
In "Windows" folder of the phone there is a tahoma.ttf font which is~144kb, while in Windows 7 this font file is 632kb, gotcha!
So just copy the tahoma.ttf font from windows 7 fonts to "Windows" directory of your phone, replaceing the old 144kb with new 632kb one.
Do the same for tahomabd.ttf font.
Soft reset, and you can enjoy your phone with a more complete language support (this affects mailing, messaging, internet browsing... etc.)
I suppose this will give support of several other languages too.
p.s. you may need "resco file explorer" to replace the fonts.
I have been looking around for the Armenian Fonts since long time now,I will do what you have recommended and will report back later,just hope will not have to hard reset my phone,since with Windows directory you just cannot fool around.!!
Thanks

hmm... you can try to delete those files or rename them, after that just copy the new ones... sometimes it does not let you to replace but lets you to rename or delete.

I found it on one of the computers with Windows 7. I didn't understand in the beginning that you meant Win 7 PC, i thought it is WM7, which i don't have an access to.
Thanks, it is solved now with Armenian in facebook.

Hi everyone, thanks for the tips, but I tried mine doesn't work. I found two Windows folders in my phone, one in the phone directory, and the other one in the storage card, I replaced the tahoma things with the ones you said to overwrite, and after a soft reset it doesn't work, it doesn't display Armenian fonts in web sites, please let me know what to do.
Thanks in advance
Guys also I am asking you to help me with another issue that has got me in trouble for several months now and I can't find a solution. I need the GPS maps for Georgia, Tbilisi, and I have autorputnik on my HD2, the maps work great for Yerevan, but no maps for Tbilisi. I have tried to install Garmin or TomTom but cannot do that. Can you help me with this? What GPS software are you using?
Cant help you with the GPS thing but for the Armenian fonts Just copy your 2 TAHOMABD.TTF & TAHOMA.TTF files with Resco Explorer to the Windows folder of your HD2 and reset,after that go back to the Windows folder on your phone find the 2 old TAhOMA files and delete them,you will know the old ones since they are smaller files in size,something like 260KB vs 680 for the new, and will have $ signes at their end.
Just dont forget to Unhide the files in Resco explorer>
:Menu>Options>general>Browser>and remove all the checks,leave the boxes blanck.
Good Luck,
Hagop
EDIT:Make sure you chose the Windows folder in your device and NOT the windows folder on the Storage Card.

barev brat,
Do you also know how i can get armenian font on android version ?

[Q] Can DroidSansFallback.ttf read chinese?

I know the default DroidSansFallback.ttf cannot and I am wondering if someone could add them into framework-res.apk and ReaderRMSDK.apk. Thanks,
There are four separate issues here:
Chinese font support: get a replacement for DroidSansFallback.ttf with Chinese characters
Android system messages: Add them to framework-res.apk
Application messages: Add them to the individual application
Chinese input method
Some of this could be scrounged off the stock Android 2.1 emulator image.
I made a test EPUB and the Nook does not have font support for Chinese.
