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

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

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.

This is a nice section . Maybe one can collect the most popular sources of fonts and add them all here as a tutorial of sorts.... Any one having done this can alo give an account of the various apps that can do the job for English fonts

If you just want to make sure that anything that displays in Arabic will show actual characters,
replace /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf with a font that contains everything.

365아임쏘쿨(ICS&JB) 폰트
http://kr.lgworld.com/front/product/retrievePrdtView.dev#none
Can anyone who reads Korean upload the apk to me?
I've already tried registering but I were stuck at some point.

it's a font.
i thought you can't install fonts manually on this phone?
is it not for the one that was downloaded from the LG smartworld?

Thanks for replying.
Yes, I know that it is a font. I want to decompile it and study it to create a font apk for my language (Non-English). The ones in LG smartworld for my region are English fonts only, and they didn't help me that much. So, this Korean font might help me to achieve what I want (Creating a font apk to be installed and applied without needing to root the device).
Anyone?
I'm trying to read books in Polish but I can't get charachters such as Ł, Ż and Ę to show up correctly. Has anyone managed to fix this?
I'm running 1.2.1
Thanks

You probably need to 'root' it and replace at least one of the "standard" fonts (in /system/fonts) with one that has all of the Polish characters. I think there are several threads on XDA with instructions to get alternate language fonts on a Nook.
