Rendering Kannada (Indic) Text on Android


I was recently developing an android application where I wanted to display kannada text in the TextView. I went through this link, now the problem is the glyphs(character sequence) are not rendered/interpreted properly. I also found this discussion pretty usefull . Now my question is - "Is it possible to integrate a layout/shaping engine (responsible for rendering the text properly) in an application.

Any help in this regard would be helpful.

Thanks !!

  • Use Bitmap fonts and your own rendering engine till Android supports
