Unicode Fonts on Droid X

Hi,
I am very disappointed that Droid X doesnt support Unicode fonts completely. I want android to support Indian Unicode fonts and it is just not there. I saw some other replies from support persons that unicode support is there but some typefaces are not supported. It doesnt help us.
There are solutions that are suggested by various websites that provide the solution that simply copying additional .ttf fonts into /system/fonts/ directory provides the support. The issue is we don't have access to that directory.
I don't want to root the phone. But is there a way you guys can provide in one of the updates access for us to the /system/fonts directory ? Or atleast provide us a way to install additional fonts into that directory thru myverizon app or something similar to that?
This is a big deal for me. I have had the phone for almost an year and the missing font support is a big issue for me. This would really help and if you look around will definitely make a lot of people happy.
thx,

I haven't tried the /sdcard/fonts. I will try that.
All the times I have had this phone, I have had the problem that if I Power-off-and-On it manually ( by Power+Home), it will get stuck with an exclamation mark. I used to press the Search button and it used to bring up the Boot menu and I was able to boot just fine.
But I updated to the latest version last night. When I tried Power-on-and-off, it gets stuck with the same 'exclamation mark' but now even pressing the 'search' button doesnt work. I have tried rebooting it, taking the battery out and reinstalling it, taking the battery and restarting it without the sdcard and nothing works.
I think my phone is bricked. One last attempt is let the battery drain and let it restart by powering it up. I am trying that now. If not I think its bricked (

IOS6 JERKY SCROLLING, BROWSING WITH UNICODE FONTS

Unicode font have been used for many years.
We use Burmese Unicode fonts name Zawgyi Unicode font to view our language on web.
We use special apps (Mogok, Myanmar Browser lite) for viewing on iPhone and iPad as this font is not embeded.
They are OK to view all our language sites without problems prior iOS 6.
Now with iOS6, the problem comes.
Safari engine rendering for web pages causes those apps frozen.
If we type email with this unicode font, it is frozen.
Frozen means it freezes for 10 seconds on every action triggered from your touch.
Imagine how annoying!
Not even that font, Apple approved Myanmar Unicode font also have the same issue.
I have tested it already.
Here is the web link (http://chawsufoodfriends.blogspot.com) you can browse on iOS Safari and you won't see the language display but you will see what happening. If you download the apps that I have mentioned, you will be able to view the fonts.
I can send you test email and see the problem in Mail App as well.
This is not only happening on my iPhone and iPad...I have called my friends, and all have the same issue.
So, it is clearly A BIG BUG.
I love Apple products. But now I am very very frustrated how they manage, how they release products and softwares.
I have never seen it is released recklessly.
I don't find "Attention to Detail" anymore.
We are now holding back and reviewing for our next gadgets.. Thank you Apple.

I have a correspondence with a gentleman from Apple ( I would think he is from the developement team) and he said "I just saw your email with the sample text and confirmed that there is a problem reading the text. I will look into it and file the appropriate defect report."
So now our case is noticed and it will be taken care of appropriately.
Let's cross our fingers and see the wonderful result on the next update.
PS. Whoever read this thread and if you are concerned with Burmese fonts problems, please submit bugreport at Apple.
https://bugreport.apple.com/
If you need any assistance on submitting report, let me know. we will help you out on this forum.
Or you can find some discussion at this thread.
The more we submit bug report, the more it will be noticed by Apple Developers and it would be taken care of soon.
We will be very much appreciate with your help.
Thanks

Need help with Tamil unicode fonts in Macbook OSX 10.6.7

I am really desperate for some help figuring out my Tamil unicode font problem. With great difficulty I got all these fonts set up on my previous ibook G4. When that computer died in the fall I got this new Macbook, and had all my data brought from the old computer to the new one. Fonts were working great, as before. Well recently I had a hard drive failure on my new Macbook (OSX 10.6.7). I now have a new hard drive, and I brought over all my data from an external hard drive using Time Machine. Everything appeared to be working great....except the Tamil fonts. Previously I was using Murasu Anjal unicode font which allowed me to type in Tamil font and view Tamil on webpages, no problem. I understand that Snow Leopard has Tamil font support (including Anjal), so I am confused as to why they were working before but are not working now-especially because on my husband's Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.5) you can see Tamil fonts on webpages and he has no special Tamil font installed whatsoever. For me the only thing visible is boxes. I am in the midst of finishing up a dissertation which is really dependent on being able to read and write in Tamil fonts. I am desperate to get this fixed but just cannot seem to figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice!!! Thanks so much!!!

I've always used the Anjal keyboard with no problem...at least there was no problem before my MacBook hard drive had to be replaced, with a newer operating system, as I had mentioned previously. When I type in Pages, NeoOffice or TextEdit, the results are the same. Many of the characters show up, but vowel combinations--especially the "o" or "u" vowels--show up incorrectly or are unintelligible. Strangely, typing in Tamil font (using Anjal keyboard) in internet searches works perfectly, but ONLY in Firefox (?) NOT in the Safari browser. Prior to re-installing the InaiMathi font, which had seemingly vanished with the transfer of my data to the new hard drive, I was unable to type Tamil anywhere, not even in Firefox. Now it works only in Firefox. For example, if I were to type in Tamil in this window, it works fine: தமிழ் நாடு.
Being able to do Tamil searches in Firefox as I had previously is really a major boon for me, but of course I'd love to be able to produce Tamil text, especially as I am about to embark on a 6 month research jaunt to South Asia.
Many thanks for all your help thus far, and for any further advice you might have.

Unicode Font in a PDF report (iTextSharp)

I tried to use unicode font (Arial Unicode MS - arialuni.ttf) in a PDF document generated with iTextSharp. I am able to create the PDF document with this font.
In the iTextSharp documentation, we are suppose to be able to send unicode, but I don't understand how to do this in Labview.
I read A List of Tips and Tools for using Unicode in LabVIEW but I am stuck. Any ideas?

Free PDF Report with iTextSharp

I don’t have the new version in my actual computer. I will go by memory.
1)      I found no way to connect a LabVIEW string to an Unicode iTextSharp phrase or paragraph;
2)      The only way I found is to add a .NET string (mscorlib.system.string --> Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane) to an iTextSharp phrase or paragraph.
3)      You construct this .NET string with an array of UTF16.
To construct the U16[ ]:
1)   I wrote the text in NotePad (Unicode).
2)   I copy the string in a LabVIEW string (not Unicode);
3)   I remove the BOM;
4)   I swap the bytes (2 bytes by to 2 bytes) and I typecast in U16.

Can't use Cambodian unicode font

I tried to create a new page in Dreamweaver 8 and attempting
to use Cambodian (Khmer) unicode font, but it does not show all the
upper and lower script. Even though I changed the New Document page
and it still does the same. Anyone has any idea?

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
Your other questions:
0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
0x270F (PENCIL)
0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

John O'Conner

Can't display non-unicode font

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
    Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font
    Font fontMapInfo = new Font( "MapInfo Transportation", Font.PLAIN, 25); // non-unicode font
    Font fontWingdings = new Font( "Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 25);
          // use integer number and convert into equivalent character
          // e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
          // notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value
          int i = 65;
          char c = (char)i;
          System.out.println( new Character(c).toString() );
          JLabel jlbl = new JLabel();
          jlbl.setFont(fontSymbol);
          jlbl.setText( new Character(c).toString() );1) I can't display any Wingdings font , any expert can help on this?
2) what is the difference between 0021(character code for Arial font) and 0x21(character code for Wingdings font) shown in character map?

Using Sinhala Unicode Fonts with Indesign

Hello,
We are having trouble using Sinhala Unicode Font with Indesign. We require this to covert content to the EPUB format.
Siyabas - how to install Sinhala Unicode
Do you know if there is a Plug-in for the Sinhala Unicode Font? Or is there someone in the community working on it?
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your post. We want to convert to reflow able text, which can include illustrations (For Example - Children's Books).
We tried FM Abbhaya Font as it is easy to read and using a traditional Sinhala keyboard input method.
For Some reason we cannot get this input to be recognized by Adobe Indesign, to convert to an Epub format.
We tried the open font on Windows, but it means selecting each character from a table. As a small publisher it is not practical.
In fact the ideal path for us will be to convert our printed books to Epubs using OCR.
Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your time.

Need help on setting large fonts on iphone 3g s

I have looked at the new iphone 3g s, and think I would like it very muuch. However, since I am somewhat visually impaired, I need large fonts on ALL categories on the phone, e-mail, contacts, notes, etc.
I have looked at the phone at my local Apple store, but cannot find a way for the fonts to become larger. I go to settings, set the font to GIANT, but then NOTHING changes when I then go back to contacts.
I have tried the Zoom program, but that seems too complicated. I currently own a Kindle, and I love it because I merely hit one button, and I have the availability of 6 DIFFERENT FONT SIZES. Why isn't this type of software available for the iphone?
I want to buy the iphone, but cannot unless I can read all data on the phone easily. ANY HELP OUT THERE IS APPRECIATED.
Dan

Copied from this link regarding the Zoom option.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#accessibility.zoom
Many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific elements. For example, you can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari. Zoom is a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any application you’re using to help you see what’s on the display.
If the Zoom feature seems to complicated for you, then you don't have any other option with the iPhone. More than likely it would not seem so complicated to you after using it for several days or for a week or two. The iPhone can be returned for payment credit within 30 days after the purchased date, less a 10% restocking fee. And the AT&T contract can be cancelled within the same 30 days with no penalty.

Arial Unicode font for Tamil, etc.?

Looking for some style alternatives to the InaiMathi font included in OS X for the Tamil language, I noted at the the Gallery of Unicode Fonts that the Arial Unicode font includes Tamil characters, and remembered that that font is now included with OS X (10.5). I checked with Character Palette and indeed the Tamil characters are there, but they aren't recognized as equivalent to those in InaiMathi. And when I try to change some Tamil words in a document from InaiMathi to Arial Unicode, nothing happens.
I don't understand a lot about Unicode, but I know the Arial Unicode font has been around for a while (it was more or less the original effort to create a single Unicode font including all the major alphabetic scripts), and don't understand why it would contain the Tamil character set but not work for that script. It doesn't seem to work for Tibetan either, though it contains that character set as well. In fact, according to Character Palette, it seems about 90% of Arial Unicode is "character variants" that "won't display correctly". What's it for, then, anyone have any idea?

+I have always thought Windows fonts cannot be used for display. Could you describe how you use Character Palette to do that?+
Well, not "display" in the sense of opening a file using an OpenType font on the Mac and seeing it display properly. What I do in Character Palette with an OpenType font like Sanskrit2003 is scroll through the font to find the elements I want and double-click them to enter them in a document. Of course this workaround is feasible only for the occasional word, not for whole sentences or paragraphs. I'm not a big time user of any of this, so I can manage for the occasional word I want.
+The reason they do this is because a lot of documents and web pages could specify Arial in them and users would get the idea that OS X does not support Devanagari, Tamil, Tibetan, etc unless they switch the font, which is impossible in Safari.+
Yeah, I can see the reason; but wouldn't it be easier in the long run to just enable OpenType fonts so everyone can use the same fonts? And it is annoying that you can't specify fonts in Safari like in Camino.
+I agree, but have doubts this will happen soon. Perhaps more likely is an app like Mellel which does OpenType could be expanded to cover these scripts.+
Several years ago the developer of Mellel assured me that v.2 would support Indic scripts. But it never happened.
+In the meantime, OpenOffice/X11 does work for display I think.+
Yes, OpenType fonts can be used in OpenOffice/X11 (which is no longer being developed, BTW, now that there's a native OS X version). But not AAT fonts.
+This might interest you:+
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1577715&tstart=0
Indeed, though much of it is over my head. I just want to be able to use the same fonts for Indic languages as everyone else, just as I can in Chinese, etc.

Embedding unicode font problem

Hi All,
       I am developing a flex application for Tamil language. I want to use tamil text in all the controls.
When I embed a tamil unicode font with the application, it doesn't render the text properly because of the glyphs.
@font-face {
            src: url('assets/latha.ttf');
            font-family: 'latha';
            unicode-range:
            U+0054-U+0054,
            U+0061-U+009F,
            U+002E-U+002E,
            U+0B80-U+0BFF;
        .MyEmbeddedFont {
            font-family: 'latha';
            font-size: 18px;
Is it possible to render the glyphs fonts correctly in flex?
Can any one help in this?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply.
The embed font is working fine. The tamil characters are displayed in controls if it doesn't contain any glyphs. It is the problem only with the glyph characters.
The used font contains glyphs and works well in other platforms.
In my flex application the glyphs are rendered incorrectly.
I tried the recipe that you have written in the cookbook. But it is not resolved?
Do you I need to update any settings in the compiler?
Or I anything need to be added in the code?

There are already two Bengali fonts in iOS. You can see them on the list, named Bangla.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5484
These are of course for standard Unicode support. You can read this site, can't you?
http://www.bangladesh.gov.bd/index.php?lang=bn
You can't add the non-standard fonts required for non-Unicode sites.
For a keyboard, you would have to check the app store for something like Bangla Keyboard to use with copy/paste.

Flex3 Not Displaying Sinhala Unicode Fonts in the MXML File

I am using Flex 3.2 for my project.
I want use Sinhala Unicode Fonts But inside the Mxml File I cannot type the Sinhala Characters.
When I change the Keyboard to Sinhaha inside the Flex3 Sinhala Characters are not dispalying.
But when I run the application I can see the fonts in the Browser.
I am using Windows 7.

Thanks Tom. Yeah, I understand that PDFs are not designed to work like word-processing files, etc., and the need to have the Chinese text copy over well is really just to prove that the document is searchable (i.e. if it can copy a short section of text Ok, then it means the characters are recognized by the PDF reader and I can search the document, which is my main goal.)
The problem I mentioned with Preview, etc., is actually a new one; one that has become a big problem for me only in the last few weeks. Before, I never had this issue. I'm not sure what changed, but I was suspecting MacKeeper and their "language cluster" cleaning feature, where it "helps" you by removing unused fonts. Though, I can't quite confirm that this has played a role. I just completely reinstalled the OS thinking that this would fix the issue by installing all the original fonts again, if MacKeeper did indeed remove the fonts these PDF programs use when editing or saving PDF files. However.....unfortunately....the problem is still here.
So, that developer I mentioned in the first thread who said this is an OS X issue may indeed be correct.
And just to be clear, I have confirmed that the PDF's I working with do have the fonts embedded already. It is only when I alter them and then save or export from Preview, Skim, Nomad, etc., that the character information gets stripped out and I'm left with a document that one can read but cannot search. I can't even OCR it because this problem also affects my OCR software, as if it can't get access to the fonts needed to embed in the recognized PDF.
Any other thoughts? I'd appreciate any you have.

Please tell me the way to render Khmer Unicode font well.
I'm looking for your reply soon.

Sochinda forget about what K wrote. You can not use the crviewer.dll (also known as active X viewer) - of any version in any version of .NET.
1) It is not supported - in any and all versions of CR
2) With some versions of CR, you are breaking your license agreement; CR 9.2, 10.2, 10.5, CRVS2010 (13.0)
