Simple and Easiest Steps to install Nepali Fonts in Android
The most suffering issue of Android OS Phone is that it does
not embed Devanagari Fonsts (Nepali, Hindi, Maithii, Marathi and many others)
by default. Nepali font sites and Facebook posts in Nepali shows small square
boxes in stead of text as in below:
I come here with the easiest steps to intall Nepali fonts in
Android Phones.
1. Root
your phone. You can use google search for the tips for rooting your phone. Note
that you will lose your software warrenty after rooting but you can get it back
by unrooting. But, unrooting makes you lose all data previously saved or
installed after factory setting.
After rooting,
you can see “Superuser” in your phone.
2. Download
one of the fonts below in your device. In may devices, it will automatically be
downloaded in “download” folder of your phone memory.

Note: DroidSansFallback
may not be compatible for some android application (Viz. Default Music Player
of Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus). Latter seems so far well-matched to all. If you prefer former one, you can use mangal font from your PC (C:/windows/fonts) too because both are same.
3. Download
and install “Font Installer” from Android Market or PlayStore.
4. Install
above downloaded font by using “Font Installer *Root*”.
During
installation, press “continue” if it asks for and “Yes” for rebooting. After
restarting, you can enjoy Nepali font sites and Facebook posts.
