I am developing an Android RSS reader.

My work almost done, but I have problem with Malayalam Unicode fonts when I display them using WebView.

I use following method to display RSS feeds:

String CurrentDescription = headlinesarray.Description[Number];

Description.loadDataWithBaseURL (null, "<html><head><style>@font-face{font-family:'MeeraRegular'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/Meera.ttf');}body{font-family:'MeeraRegular'; font-size:20px; } </style></head><body>"+CurrentDescription+"</body></html>", "text/html", "UTF-8",
    null);

When I use this method, it displays Malayalam fonts, but not properly.Many charecters are misplaced.And its so difficult to read.

Here is a screen shot:

    Finally I have found a solution.I converted Unicode fonts to Ascii,by replacing each and every Unicode charecters with Ascii.Here I use MLTT-Karthika as Ascii font.Then set this font in typeface.

        t=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"karthika.TTF");
        t.setTypeface(typeFace);
