Android – Install Indian Fonts

Filed under Android {no comments}




Download DroidIndia.ttf

If you are comfortable with ADB, copy & paste following commands on shell / cmd

adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system"
adb shell "cp /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf /sdcard/"
adb push DroidIndia.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
adb shell "chmod 777 /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf"

Otherwise, you can use file explorer to copy DroidIndia.ttf to /system/fonts
1) copy /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf to /sdcard/ #backup
2) copy DroidIndia.ttf as /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
3) change permission to 644 / rw-r-r

Now reboot your phone to check if you get support for Indian languages,
I have tested this font only for hindi.

DroidIndia.ttf is copied from GT-I5801 I5801DDJP6 firmware, hence it should support most of Indian languages.
