Re: [android-developers] Re: Fonts on Android, how are they manage by the OS?

Are we talking about two different things here? Font support and locale (?) support?

I can understand why a US-only device would not need to ship with support for locales like Japanese and Thai, but there is a stronger argument to include Japanese and Thai fonts (space permitting) because they are useful to translator apps and the browser etc.

Is there any way to programmatically check whether a unicode char is displayable? A negative check would allow us to then fall back on a ttf file in the assets (which I think is a better way than just forcing the assets file in the first place).
