Hi,

We are working on Indian language rendering support for android webkit
browser. We integrated the harfbuzz old code onto froyo code and the
complex text rendering flow has now been passed through harfbuzz code.
We included the Indian language fonts as a part of the system fallback
font array. But, the glyphs generation is not proper, resulting in
improper display of the Indian languages. (we tried with the multiple
Indian font files).

Please clarfify the below points

a) Can we use the existing indian font files as a fallback font file?
or do we need to modify the system fallback font file itself
(DroidSansFallbackFont.ttf) ?

b) if the system fallback font file is not yielding the desired
result, do we need to create our own font file? if yes, how to create
it.
