Hi,
I tried to install Arabic font on my samsung captivate device. In the part of the font installing process I replaced the litewebcore.so file in the system/lib directory. After replacing the litewebcore.so file, the phone is stuck with the At&t logo screen World Phone. On boot up the phone plays the samsung galaxy s sound in the background. Can any body help how to get back my phone to home screen.
can't help you with fixing that unless you flash using Odin and lose all your info (unless you have a backup).
Adding Arabic font should be the same as Hebrew though. You need to find a zip of the fonts that include arabic and then copy them to your system/fonts folder. I can't post links but try to google DeJavu fonts (they include arabic) and just push them using adb (you should be able to google that as well). you only need to push font files (ttf) and that's it. If you wish to type arabic, after you get the fonts installed use AnySoftKeyboard (available in the market)
Actually it's not the same
Just found more info. The only difference is that the letters are not connected. I guess that was the system file that screwed your phone.

I would say just install the fonts and you can view arabic but not connected letters.
Froyo (2.2) should bring Hebrew and Arabic natively, so you can wait for that.
(You need to replace the x's in the link with t's)
I was able to install arabic fonts. But I did not get connected words. To get the connected words I copied the litewebcore.so file and my phone got stuck on the at&t logo screen. I there any way that I can get backup of my data in the current situation.
Do you get anywhere past that screen? can you get adb to recognize the phone? Do you have rom manager installed. If not, I doubt there is any easy way to get back on.
What you most likely have to do is use Odin to flash back to stock. Once you have all your accounts setup make a backup!!! Use Rom manager, it's free and takes just a few minutes. You can always restore and it will save you HOURS! I haven't see any fixes yet for the connected letters but I'm no expert....
Being one to never stop changing the look of any of my Android devices I wondered how to change the system font on my Tab. First result was the ability right within the system settings app itself, but more clicking on "Get more fonts" ended up with only pay options. My Tab is rooted with z4 so I though why not see if I can just swap out the files. A simple install of Root Explorer and some file renaming later I had a new font installed on my Tab that even sticks through reboot. Here is how I did it (quite simple really):
Requirements:
- A Galaxy Tab of course, rooted
- Root Explorer, paid market app or other means if you are so inclined
- Your new font in TrueType format on your sdcard with the needed ttf's for regular and bold (eg YourFont-R.ttf and YourFont-B.ttf, etc)
Steps:
1 - Using root explorer, navigate to /system/font and rename DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf (I just append ORIG to them)
2 - Still in that directory click the button "Mount as r/w" just under the notify bar on your screen
3 - Navigate back to where your new font is and copy the regular and bold ttf files to /system/fonts
4 - Rename each ttf file as DroidSans.ttf for regular fonts and DroidSans-Bold.ttf for bold fonts
5 - Go to Settings > Display > Set Font and set if to Default
NOTE If Default is already your selected font, select another font and apply then reselect Default and apply and your new font should be visible.
Your new font should now be used as the on screen display font. For reference my Tab is a Bell version and I used the attached font (Ubuntu font) as my new font.
Hope this helps some people.
Cheers
Thanks! Will try this out on my Sprint Tab later.
Any luck finding a way to do it without actually replacing the font? Surely if it allows market download of fonts then you can just add new ones and update some list somewhere...

I didn't fully replace the original font as I renamed the original files. This is the way I was able to use the built in font switching tool without spending money on font packs. Only drawback for me is that the font list will only ever be 2 fonts for me, Default and Helvetica Neue Something. I originally changed it as I really like the Ubuntu font on my Desire and wanted to sue it on the Tab.
Or just grab any font apk from this thread!

Hi the option to paste the font folder seems lost when I am opening the sd card ? Which program are you using to paste it into? Also I tried the first suggestion, renaming the fonts, but it says ...system file is read only? Your help is much appreciated.
Many thanks Devarsi

No more installation of SDK or commands to execute in Terminal. Just do the following steps and you will have the ability to view Myanmar font on any rooted Android devices. Remember, you Android device has to be rooted before using Type Fresh.
1. Download Type Fresh and AndExplorer App from Android Market
2. Copy your your font file (e.g. Zawgyi.ttf) to your SDCard
3. Click on DroidSansFallback.ttf and choose your font file (Zawgyi.ttf) from your SDCard to swap the font
4. Click Android menu button and choose Apply Fonts and restart your Android device

Burmese font
Nyanlone, did you get burmese font installed already? Let me know. I can help you.
You need to fix the permissions from root explorer. Just do this:
1- go to /system/fonts and long touch any original rom font (other than the one you copied) until the menu appears.
2- touch permissions
3- note the permissions (!!!DO NOT CHANGE THEM!!!)
4- close the menu and now take a look at the name of your ttf (the one that you copied) to ensure android didn't change its name when you first copied it. This happened once for me.
5- Repeat (1-3) this time on your copied file, this time DO change the permissions to match those noted in 3
5- close everything and reboot.
6- Do let me know if this fixed your problem.

Dear Brother
I would like to ask help from you regarding myanmar font. I'm using Note 10.1 2014 Edition LTE Version, SM P605, Android 4.3 now. I always root and replace the ZawgyiOne.ttf with one of the fonts (DroidSans.ttf) under system/fonts folder for all my other previous android phones, Note 1, S2 and S3. Then, I can see myanmar font every where in my phone. I did the same way for my Note 10.1 2014 Edition but it doesn't work. I've tried to replace with DroidSans.ttf, DroidSansFallback.ttf, Roboto-Regular.ttf, GS45_Arab_AndroidOS, DroidSansEthiopic-Regular, DroidSansEthiopic-Regular, DroidSansEthiopic-Regular. But, I can't see myanamr font yet. If I use gmail from web browser, I can see myanmar font but if I open other myanmar website from browser, I can't see myanmar font. I can't also see myanamr font on Gmail app, Facebook app, SMS, Myanmar Keyboards. I've already tried with Zawgyi font softwares from Play store but it doesn't work. Could you kindly help me please? What should I do. Which font should I replace? I attached the system font lists and xml for your kind review.
Thanks you so much,
Aung Thu.

Hello guys
As we all know, Samsung uses the FlipFont library in system fonts, which provides a new way of font customizations. But in the same time, this library does not give us the benefit of having two desired fonts together (unless we build our custom font). Samsung has also replaced the stock Android ICS Arabic font with an ugly looking font type.
Samsung uses a system Arabic font stored within "/system/fonts" folder under the name of "GS45_Arab_AndroidOS" as their stock Arabic font, which is the classical font in even older Samsung phones.
Here, I am posting this thread to those people who would like to install their custom "English FlipFont" whether from the market or internet and in the same time want a permanent good Arabic font. This procedure needs root!
1- Choose a TTF font that you would like to use as Arabic font. In this tutorial, I have used the "Adobe Arabic" font. You can find it in the attachments.
2- Rename this file into "GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf".
3- Copy this font into your mobile SD Card (whether internal or external).
4- Using a root explorer on the device, navigate to the font. Copy the font.
5- Navigate now to "/system/fonts" and paste the font there.
6- Fix file permissions into "rw-r--r--".
7- Reboot your device.
8- Enjoy!
Some TTF fonts may fail. If you have an Open-Type Font (OTF), you may use an online font converter to convert it to TTF.
Screenshots are provided.
I hope I could help

i followed all the steps with the included font but the Original file seems to be read only so it can't be replaced. What i did is:
1. unpack the rom.zip
2. put the ttf in the fonts folder (system - fonts) -as you mentioned it has to be renamed into "GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf"-
3. zipped it again.
4. flashed the rom

Why don't you just use Root Explorer? Just navigate to / System / fonts folder. Mount the folder as R/W and paste the file there. As simple as that!

I have actually applied all the steps mentioned by tweetatoo to install a new font instead of the default one shipped on Samsung Galaxy Note 2. In fact I couldn't paste the new font in /fonts/ directory since it is a system file that cannot be changed. I tried to change permissions of font directory, but still in vain. Therefore, pasting the new font which has the same name of the old one, could not be completed and no replacement of the old font with the new one has taken place.
Do you have any idea how I can allow pasting the new font in /fonts/ directory?
Many thanks.

Getting into a protected system folder does not need root actually. Any folder explorer can reach the topmost folder in the system. But writing to a system folder requires root permissions.
Use this root explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Google for downloadable versions
Open this program, copy the font file, then navigate to /system/fonts/ folder. After that, you will find on the top side of the screen "Mount R/W". Click on it and paste now.
After that, reboot and enjoy

This is supposed to work on your device, since it supports Arabic natively. Just locate the Arabic font used by your LG device. Personally, I am a Samsung professional, and not an LG professional. Sorry

After replacing the font, it is better to fix permissions back into rw-r--r-- instead of the rw-rw-rw. Then, reboot your phone
The rectangles should now appear good. In case the problem persists:
1- Try to make your phone language "English".
2- Reboot the phone.
3- Replace the font again and fix permissions.
4- Reboot again.
Arabic should now work perfectly.
Logically, even if you use Galaxy S 4, this method shall work perfectly, since the method uses a universal Android trick instead of the FlipFont library.

Hi, Will this solution work with the galaxy tab 3.8.0 ?
i followed your steps exactly. Arabic is still showing on my device but the problem is not in the font, it's in the size of the font.
is this supposed to be solved with the replacement of the font? or the size has nothing to do with the font?

Thanks for this excellent job.
However, I did everything by the book on my gnote3,but I keep getting error message:
"copy action error". Can you help, please?
so yeah,
I usually use iFont to change the font of my phone, it did work, and changed the basic font of my note 3,
yet, it still didn't change the font of any kind of web browser that I have.
how can I change that normal fonts?
I am rooted, and I have access on my sys folders.
please someone enlighten me to change that.
Afraid you wont be able to influence this, as the websites font are coded by the web devs themselves (html or php)

so yeah,
I usually use iFont to change the font of my phone, it did work, and changed the basic font of my note 3,
yet, it still didn't change the font of any kind of web browser that I have.
how can I change that normal fonts?
I am rooted, and I have access on my sys folders.
please someone enlighten me to change that.

replce the default system font with your own font in system fonts folder by any system browser as root explorer, done it with note 1

yeah I thought so,
but what are the default system font's name?
I saw bunch of the fonts in font folder.
I rename my custom font to : GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
since this one is the default font for Arabic language , then I replce the one at system fonts folder (after backup)
be aware that with this method when you go later to change the font from settings , you will find that all other fonts options are disabered
