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.

how to change the ppc system language in wm5? like transfer tranditional Chinese to simplfied Chinese or Korean to Japanese.
we have to replace the fontbase, but what else i need to do ???
Basically, there are two ways:
1) Install a language pack (if you can find one) which includes MUIs (interface translation files) fonts (if needed) and keyboard(s) (also if needed). Sometimes it also contains a replacement for wince.nls which contains other language specific definitions like date / time / currency format and calendar.
2) Get a ROM in the desired language (if the manufacturer has one) and reflash.
or doing 1 by making the language pack one self
think the packs at buzzdev.net are don by users
I want do it by myself, the developer will not realease that.
Now my purpose is to transfer WM5 English version to simplified Chinese version,so the fontbase must be replace,i dont know what file i need, and which folder to put these files in.which part of the REG i have to edit? i have the simplfied Chinese for wince.nls,and simplfied Chinese fontbase for ac3,but i dont know how to do it.
My goal is not only support simplfied Chinese,i want whole interface of the system are running under simplfied Chinese,please tell me how to achieve this?
Well here are the basics:
1st all the files go under windows.
These are the files you need:
*.ttf - all the fonts you want supported on the system (usually tahoma and courier new)
.xxxx.MUI - these are interface files (menus and dialogs) where xxxx is the LCID number (no idea what it is for Chinese but there is a list somewhere on MS site).
If you can get a ROM dump (you can even use TestWM5.exe by mamiac on this forum) you can use resource hacker to create MUIs in your language. It's fairly easy.
Sorry I don't have the time right now to find all the links, but a quick google search should do it. Also look for posts by asukal on this forum. He did a lot of work on language packs.
Good luck.
LCID for Simplified Chinse is 0x0804, or 0n2052. I'm Chinese...
Please ask so, how to do inside the ROM that then can wrap language to integrate to the equipments, substitute its language?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

but i can't paste my fonts files to the folder "font"..
computer\Vodafone HTC_Touch_HD_T8282\\\Windows\fonts
is there any solution please??
thank you
Simple instructions:
Copy DroidSansFallBack.ttf to the \windows folder
Edit the registry
Reboot
[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/FontLink/SystemLink]
Tahoma = \windows\DroidSansFallback.ttf,Droid Sans Fallback
[HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
Nm =Tahoma (this is a string)
[HKLM/System/GDI]
FontLinkMethods = 1 (this is a dword)
Then it's clean and done, no need for ****ty software, working everywhere.
I use it for Korean and Japanese, works for all the languages supported by Android in standard.
The font is small, quite complete and nice.
Link to the font: http://uploaded.to/file/7i321y
I spent 2 days to get it working properly so I wanted to share
Is there a list of supported languages somewhere?
Don't know, I know that at least European languages and CJK are working.
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.
I made a small Xposed module that allows to use your own custom fonts on YotaReader, instead that one of the 8 hardcoded ones.
Usage:
install the Xposed module;
create a folder called "Fonts" on root of sd-card;
add your custom font (for the moment add just 1 font family; you can add more later) in the "Fonts" folder (do NOT create any folder within "Fonts" folder, just put the font files in it); for best results add 4 files for each font, corresponding to the styles: regular, bold, italic, bold-italic;
restart phone
open YotaReader
open font selection dialog within a book
now, you should see the custom font you loaded as the first font in the list of 8 fonts presented (replacing the first native font);
Limitations:
you can add a maximum of 8 font families;
custom font will replace the native ones of YotaReader, starting from the first one in the list;
not sure what font format are supported by YotaReader, but at least TTF and OTF should be supported;
Moreover, I verified that native fonts just have the regular style and they miss bold, italic and bold-italic styles. You can easily verify this opening the attached epub (I had to compress to a zip file, since XDA doesn't allow to attach epub files), that shows how is rendered the text in the four possible font styles.
Using a native font, you can see that a fallback font (sans serif) is used for bold, italic and bold-italic styles (while for regular one the selected font is used).
Instead, using a custom font, all the 4 styles are recognized and used (il present).
I also attached a sample font family (Sil Gentium) that you can use to test the module.
I tested the module on YD206 with MM firmware, anyway I think that it should work also on LP firmware since the reader app is the same.
Of course, you need Xposed framework for this to work.
Thank you for this useful contribution. Just wish to know if it's possible to replace other fonts without replacing the first font? For example, is it possible to keep Roboto while replacing PT Sans.
Thanks!
Can someone please confirm that this works on the EU version (6.0.1-EU1.1.47mx)?
For me the reader does not want to start (when this xposed module is selected), but since I am new to Xpose, I might be doing something wrong...
