Question

I am developing an android App in Hindi but find that few characters are misspelled and broken in Hindi the issue is in http://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=1008 but no solution there दिप is rendered as दपि letters in hindi font above are formed as द + ि + प which should display as दिप but It render as दपि The same question was put earlier but not resolved so I had to repost it again Correcting Hindi (Unicode) rendering in Android

Answer 1

Finally I found the solution this is very simple just import the font in my case I am developing web app

@font-face { font-family: hindi; src: url('fonts/k010.TTF'); } body,h1,h2{ font-family:hindi; }

then type text in your a text editor or MS-word using Kruti devi10 font after You finished change the font to Arial and paste the text in your web App and it will render perfectly

Answer 2

you can use Unicode ...

TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textViewmyView);

final Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "Hindi-SARAL1.TTF");

tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("&# 2367;&# 2342;&# 2346;"));

tv.setTypeface(tf);

unicode value continues no gap.....

and you can also convert world to unicode via this site...http://mylanguages.org/converter.php but in case of इ 1st use unicode of इ then alphabets Unicode...b/c till android version 4.0 Hindi Unicode not supported proper..
