I am new to android programming.I learned some basic stuffs from the youtube tutorial videos.I want to create an app for my blog. The app should act as a web browser and display the content of my blog as such.But the problem is I used to write my blog in a local Indian language.So I want my app to support my local language font which is a Unicode supported font.Is it possible to make my app to support such local font.Please help me?Sorry for my poor english!! :)

You can use Custom fonts for your Android Application,

For this, you need to use Typeface and also you need to have knowledge of Character Mapping of your font.

  • why do you want to set a font for web view. It can automatically load the site in malyalam font, if the device supports the malyalam font. – Sahil Mahajan Mj Jan 04 '13 at 09:29
  • device support malayalam font.. but not in correct ways..some characters are not in correct format.But while using some android browsers like opera and ucweb it showed all the malayalam fonts in correct font.Can I make my webview just like that.? – allu Jan 05 '13 at 13:44
