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.

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 someone is seeking free Unicode compatiable Indian fonts, I think c-dac along with indian govt. released a few packs to promot unicode in India, One can google and find those free fonts.

Not sure if it applys to arabic, but go to settings, device, under personalization --> font
Note: doesn't change the keyboard though, without root your probably going to have to try a different keyboard.

try ifont app, can install any font you want in ttf format

iFont confirmed to work for N9005

+1.
Acually been using this on my LTE N9005 since day 1.
In my experience, the font that was best for both English and Arabic is "Modified Mohannad for KitKat"
