I have an app that must show some Malayalam text. I used some Malayalam fonts and tried to use that through typeface. Though all the characters are shown, some of the symbols are not shown or are displaced. I use android 2.2. Can anyone guide me to solve this problem?
As Malayalam fonts are not supported by Android, you can still give that support to your Application.
For Marathi font copy font file to your asset folder. then use the following code.
TextView text_view = new TextView(this);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "MalayalamFont.ttf");
text_view.setTypeface(font);
text_view.setText("മലയാളം");
the same way u can give support for hindi....
We can add font files to the assets folder and from there we can load it. here is useful link for you..

I have been trying to show marathi font using this link in my app. But some how its not working for me. It gives no error but does not show any font in text view. I came to know about internationalization concept when I first tried to do this.
TextView info=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview);
Typeface face= Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/FontAwesome.otf");
info.setTypeface(face);
info.setText("TypeFace");

This file support all Indian language fonts and english too. Just copy paste this file in assets filder and include in the code
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/file_name.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.yourtextview);
tv.setTypeface(tf);
I want to create an android application in which the user should be able to select a language of his choice(English/ Hindi/ Marathi).
I have checked some android forums and found that android does not support Devanagari fonts.
Is there a solution? Also, is there a solution without rooting the device?
As Devanagari fonts are not supported by Android, you can still give that support to your Application.
For Hindi font copy font file (saral.ttf or Shusha.ttf or any font hindi file) to your asset folder. then use the following code.
TextView text_view = new TextView(this);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "saral.TTF");
text_view.setTypeface(font);
text_view.setText("हिंदी");
the same way u can give support for marathi....

hi
i want to develop an application in which i Want to use punjabi text. But my emmulator does not show Punjabi text. Is there any api or something else so that my emulator can show the punjabi text or suggest me any other way to implement punjabi language in my application.
Thanks in advance.
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "bulara_5.ttf");
text.setTypeface(font);
text.setText("ਪੰਜਾਬੀ");
This worked for me on non rooted phone OSv 2.1
Link for font file I used: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul-grosse/bulara.zip
You can use custom TrueType fonts by copying the .ttf file into your projects's 'assets' folder.
Then in your application you can use the font like this;
final Typeface customF = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "custom.ttf");
final TextView textV = (TextView) findViewById(...);
textV.setTypeface(customF);
However i've had so many problems trying to use TrueType fonts so you might want to do some real life testing with your (pubjabi) font.
I don't think that android 2.3 supports the punjabi font. Hence you see those boxes.
Follow this thread to know when your favourite language will be supported. I've heard that Samsung android devices support some Indian regional fonts.
