I don't know whether it is appropriate to post here or not.<br>
<br>
Here are some sceenshots of Ice Cream Sandwich web-browser.<br>

It is showing/rendering Malayalam perfectly for websites which are<br>
font embedded and other websites are showing nothing as content. I<br>
tried to replace the fallback font. But still complex script rendering<br>
is not available. (by the way, ICS supports hindi and even have a<br>
language pack.).<br></blockquote><div><br>I have been working with android for getting Indic support and had some experiments with various phones and development boards.And the result was really interesting.<br><br>Here some of my findings <br>
<br>Initially I have
experimented with Samsung Galaxy(froyo) fit without rooting and it's
having the support for Hindi in browser and even in applications too.But
other indian languages are displaying as square boxes.<br>
Then I rooted the device and while exploring in the font path, realised
that only Hindi font is there (DroidHindi.ttf).So I have replaced the
DroidHindi with a Tamil Unicode font and browser and the sample application
with Tamil text (Menu's Buttons etc) rendered properly.<br>
But while tried with Malayalam it's failed to do the character level
reordering.So assumes character level reordering algorithm is not
implemented for malayalam and may be for some other languages.<br><br>Since
the source code of samsung android built is not available, I have tried with ICS in pandaboard and in the font path three indic fonts are there.<br>Lohit Devanagari<br>Lohit Tamil <br>And Lohit Bengali.<br><br>But rendering (combinations and re-ordering ) is not happening with any of the three languages.<br>
<br>Trying to fix those issue, will update you soon.<br><br><br><br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
How it render complex scripts for web embedded fonts but not for internal font ?<br>
