Tamil Unicode is visible system wide (write message, email, applications, website).No need to install specific browsers Tamil Unicode is visible in any browser.This method would be perfect for any of the users who want to develop Application in Tamil without using graphic letters.So I came to a conclusion to write a font which includes Tamil Unicode. I didn’t want to go for that option because the solution is just to read a website and Tamil fonts cannot be accessed system wide. There are some methods in Opera Browser to activate bitmap fonts which is claimed to be able to read Unicode Tamil fonts. Not only because of my friends argument against Android also because of so many people who are interested in having Tamil Unicode fonts in their Android devices.Īfter couple of research it was clear to me the Android phone has to be rooted to alter system wide files such as fonts and layouts.
I definitely want to do something to be able to read Tamil on my phone. I have searched in Google about Tamil fonts in Android and found millions of people are waiting for the Tamil Unicode implementation in Android. (Some of Indian Language has more than 1000 chars :S:S:S:S:SJ) ( PS: sorry for the lack of Tamil history knowledge ) Tamil is a “classic“ south Indian language, more than 2000 years old (I’m not very sure). Tamil is a south Indian language, more than 2000 years old and derived from Sanskrit Language. So it started with my research about Tamil Unicode Fonts. I didn’t want to let my Samsung Galaxy s2 go down in comparison with his IPhone and I challenged him to make my phone able to read Tamil Unicode fonts. Users are limited to certain functions.Īnyway we leave the topic which of the Operating system is best ) my friend said IPhone can read Unicode fonts where Android does not include all Unicode letters.
Android is open source and allows exploring more in your own way where IPhone OS (IOS) is exclusive to the users. My argument was “it depends of the needs”. One of my friends has IPhone and we had an argument which of the OS is best for current user. Since Tamil Unicode is not implemented in Android I also wasn’t that much interested in digging OS for Tamil fonts. I’m Android user since two years and I never thought to access Tamil websites or any Tamil content through my smartphone. I think it’s time to write another article about the hot topic “Tamil fonts in Android OS”. Again couple of months are gone since I wrote my last article.
