I have local HTML files with hebrew text that I'm trying to display on a webview in the android emulator but I only get squares and not the actual text.
I guess it's got to do with fonts not being supported.
Is there any way to display non latin text on the emulator?
Thanks!
Hope this helps:
How To Setup Hebrew Font in Android Emulator
If it's simply an issue of missing fonts, you might try DejaVu fonts (http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php). I haven't tried it, but instructions for installing them on a phone (which should also work for the emulator) are here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480964.

I have following problem. My custom font in Wordpress, Wittenberg and Drunk Text Wide Medium, work fine in Android devices as well as in Chrome and Firefox on a PC, but not on the new Safari 14.0 version as well on all browsers in iOS devices.
It only happens with special characters like ¿ or letters with accent marks. For example I will attach some screenshots:

How can I fix this issue?
Text may not display correctly if the web page uses characters that are not part of the default text encoding and the page does not indicate the correct encoding.
Is your page encoding in UTF-8 ?

I am using unicode characters in my android application. When I run the application in emulator it works fine but when I run it in real devices, the unicode characters are not displayed. I know the unicode font is missing in my real device, but what I wanna know is that how to include the unicode font in my package so that it will be included when I install it wherever I want. I saw some samples of putting your font in the assets folder and changing the typeface of every component in the application. But, I need a simpler solution.
cheers!
I created an android phonegap application which displays information in multiple languages like Hindi, Fijian, etc. Hindi language content displays properly in properly in emulator but it is not working on actual android device. It displays a small square box.
I'll explain the steps:
I used web font converter and converted de.ttf, it generated 3 files.
I copied all theses files to folder named "font" in my project directory.
I added font-face in css.
I called the font-face in a div and added Hindi text.
Thanks in advance.
I am guessing Android emulator does not display Hindi font answer shows the issue.
Problem with Hindi keyboard on Android 2.3 emulator is another duplicate.
From what I understand the Hindi is not implemented fully in older phones. It likely works in your emulator due to your emulator's operating system version being higher than the phone. I suggest you change create a new emulator image with the same version as phone and test it. If it does not work on emulator then bump the OS version up until it does. This will have to be your apps minimum OS version.
If for some reason at the same version the text does display correctly, then something else is going on.
Does android in eclipse emulator support hindi fonts? I see Square boxes like
☐ instead of characters अ आ इ ई उ ऊ on Emulator and on Unicode or UTF8 compliant
Hindi websites. Any settings for solving the issue?
This might help you
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);

Also it is displaying rectangular boxes instead of characters.
Read this Android Feature Request. If you read towards the end (December 2010), you will see discussions of Gingerbread (Android v2.3) and that although it has gone some way to supporting Hindi language, it is still not providing full support 'out of the box'.
