Arial Unicode MS: A Font That Supports Most of the Asian and Indic Languages

Yagya Gaire October 02, 2011
Arial Unicode MS is a true type font (ttf) which contains nearly 50,000 Unicode characters and supports most of the Asian and Indic Languages including but not limited to Devanagari (Hindi and Nepali), Arabic, Thai, Bengali, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Korean languages. It can render most of the characters of various languages and can help you view messages, websites and other texts written in your own language in your devices.

If you are not being able to render the characters of your language (regional/national) font in your android powered device then this is the only way through it. While there are also many other fonts that support rendering of regional/national languages, Arial Unicode MS is famous for supporting widest range of languages with nearly 50,000 Unicode Characters support. So, now you can enjoy Hindi, Nepali, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil and other languages on your android smart phone.
You can download Arial Unicode MS.ttf font from any of the links given below:

    Kazem, Are you sure you are trying to copy to /system/fonts/ folder? It has more than 200 MB space. The data folder has separate 180 Mb space. The system folder is where only system files (apps, fonts, etc) are stored and whatever rom you use you should have at least 50 Mb free space unless you use a custom rom that has many system apps pre-installed. Also, make sure you have R/W permission.

    Stejin,
    It would have been better if you have used root explorer. Make sure you have system mounted as R/W (read, write) and then try again. Also, make sure you delete/move to another place original DroidSansFallback.ttf so that you can copy the new one.

    Dear Sir
    Greetings

    I have been trying to get half sh (आधा श) when I type in Devanagari
    Arial Unicode MS in window, speically word "God" and "Question" I think I do not
    know the command to get the same. The normal Command "D" is not
    working and the next word goes in the leg (परमेश्वर) of "Sh" which is
    not accepted way of Hindi writing. After typing in Mangal when I
    convert it to Arial Unicode MS, I get word "V" combining with word Sh"
    which mean goes in the leg of word "Sh" you can see.
    Pls help...Thank you
    Jitender Jeet Singh


    I have been trying to get आधा श जब मैं ऐरीयल यूनीकोड़ में टाईपिंग करता हूँ
    तो परमेश्वर में अक्षर व या न क्यों श के पैर के नीचे चला जाता है। कृप्या
    मुझे सही रीति से लिखने के लिए Typing command बताएँ

    धन्यवाद
