Some following unicode characters not appears: Ө=04E8(Cyrillic capital letter barred O) ө=04E9(Cyrillic small letter barred O) Ү=04AE(Cyrillic capital letter straight U) ү=04AF(Cyrillic small letter straight U)
These are Mongolian cyrillic letters extended from Russian.
I want to be: http://www.geocities.com/ebayaraa/Te...ColorPhone.gif

In some phones:
Nokia 7210

Sony Ericsson K750

Siemens S55, C60

http://www.geocities.com/ebayaraa/TestUniSiemensC60.gif

And NetBeans project:

How can i do?

My currently solve is using Greek letter Θ instead of (Ө, ө) and latin V,v instead of (Ү, ү). Of course it is inadequaty.

Hi bayaraa! Welcome to Nokia Discussion Boards!! :)

May be you should try encoding with UTF-8. Also please ensure that the desired charectors/language is supported by your phone.

Hi, thank you.

Yes, encoded with UTF-8. At that no phone supported the Mongolian language. How to ensure is phone supported with these characters?
If you to try write Mongolian: On Windows XP, add Mongolian (Cyrillic) in Input Locales. Locations are on keyboard: Letter Ө on latin F, Letter Ү on latin O.

By the way, Can add the Mongolian support for phone interface and input languages?

Sorry, I'm not good in English.

Even if Unicode can be used to encode all known written languages, all devices won't display all possible characters for all possible Unicode code points, unless the font you use includes a glyph for that particular code point.

If the font being used does not have the character, a default substitution/placeholder is usually the blank/white square.

The best way to ensure that you get a font with sufficient support for the language(s) you want is to get a phone intended for that market (a, so called, language variant that includes support for that language).

In some cases, with some devices, you can also install your own fonts. Sometimes you can even replace system fonts, but in others they will only be usable for your own apps that know how to use that font.

Hi,

AFAIK there's no way to install new fonts on Nokia OS based devices.

BR,

Just to add what Juarez said :: If you want to use your Fonts in your application and you are developing a canvas based app; You can do the necessary graphics for your own customised fonts and save that as an image file along with your other graphics images; and then you could use those customised fonts where ever you want in the app!

For eg: first of all you have to create a PNG image strip with all the charectors say '1234..... ABCD....abcd...' and so on in your desired style.

You can use setClip() to set the clipping position on the strip (PNG image with fonts) and then draw the image using drawImage();

Hope this helps.

Also here is a similar discussion

I do remember this link some one have posted earlier regarding a font changer in Symbian phones.(But not tried it myself yet!)
