Installing a new font in Android Emulator


I'm trying to install a new font for my emulator. Currently android doesn't support "Tamil" but rooted phones do have partial support with extra hic ups.

I wanna try and install a tamil font in my emulator. so I went to font directory under android sdk folder and replaced it with a Tamil unicode font latha.ttf

when I create a emulator for dat specfic version and runs it, I still see boxes instead of Tamil script??

wot am I missing?? can someone help me out.

Thanks in advance.

  • I wanna try and install a tamil font in my emulator. so I went to font directory under android sdk folder and replaced it with a Tamil unicode font latha.ttf

    The emulator has nothing to do with this directory.

    Of course. You have not put the Tamil font in your emulator.

    wot am I missing??

    If you find instructions for installing a Tamil font in a rooted phone, follow those instructions with your emulator.
