The most interesting file in that folder is the DroidSansFallback.ttf. Android device has a folder /system/fonts which has few of them. To display a glyph in screen, Android first needs a suitable font file. Little background that I gathered so far: My aim is to know how I can provide such an ability to an Android phone or tablet. Unlike English or other Latin based script, it has glyph (what you see in screen) composed of more than one character.Īndroid does not have ability to render such complex scripts (with exceptions). Tamil, like any other Indian language has complex character rendering system.
My requirement in one line: "to enable an Android phone to display Tamil characters properly". I need to explain all this to help others and to avoid helpful contributors to provide answer without asking clarifications.
Please excuse the length of this question.
