Kannada language font support in Android ICS

[Resh]

Hi All,


I am trying to get the kannada font support for Android ICS.

I see that there are 3 font support Lohit-Bengali,Lohit-Devanagari and
Lohit-Hindi along with system fonts.

On similar lines ,I downloaded the binary Lohit-Kannada from the site
and placed in folder Lohit-fonts in external folder of the source code
and made relevant make file changes.

I have also included the Lohit-Kannada font as family-set in
fallback_fonts.xml in the framework.

After MAKE,I am able to see the kannada fonts render in browser but
the complex script is not supported.Glyphs are not rendered in proper
way ,though it is just readable.

Kindly help as I have tried all possible ways from my side.

I got this working as I had missed to change FontAndroid.cpp file.But again support comes only for Browser.

Need to check system wide as Message in Kannada do not support glyphs.

I have tested it in system wide but any of the Indian langs are not supported(ICS + Pandaboard).have a look into the link http://sijisunny.com/2011/12/01/android-indic-support/  for the screenshots.

I checked out a Galaxy Nexus phone on display at a Verizon store - it
seemed to support Indic fonts like Tamil and Hindi in the browser. I
didnt check it out in any other apps like twitter or facebook or such.

But on the 4.0.3_r1 ICS build for Xoom, rendering the tamil fonts in
the browser didnt seem to work.
