Question

I have to implement Nepali Font on my application and for that I have used unicode font named DroidSansDevanagari-Regular.ttf.The reason I have used this font is that on my Rooted Galaxy S2 I900,I have installed Resurrection Remix 3.06 JB(AOKP) which renders Nepali Font correctly. And under system/fonts folder I have found this DroidSansDevanagari-Regular.ttf font,which is responsible for displaying Nepali Font.

Further I have used the correct way of using custom font

   Typeface font =     
              Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
                                       "fonts/DroidSansDevanagari- Regular.ttf");                 
   someTextView.setTypeface(font);

And though my application displays the Nepali Font it doesn’t correctly maps the font.Using same font I get correct mapping on Rooted Galaxy S2 phone,but I can’t get correct mapping on other phones. Let me illustrate this by picture

InCorrect Mapping

So,my question is how to map the font in correct manner as done by my Rooted Galaxy S2 phone.For that do I have to look upon AOKP project and look upon EditText or Typeface classes.Please provide me guidance on how to correctly map the fonts on each and every device

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

For correct font mapping ,indic text renderer is the best solution I found so far.But before implementing this library,please look upon the solution explained on this issue in order to render fonts with long texts and without any line spacing in between words
