Multiple font Not working at time in application

Question

Friends, Running out in a strange issue. I want to use two font (Gujarat & Hindi) in same applicaion. Here is process of install fonts in device

• Needed root device.
• Install Font Installer App
• Download Lohit-Devanagari.ttf & Lohit-Gujarati.ttf from this site
• Copy ttf files file at /system/fonts
• Given Read/Write Permission & installed both fonts
• Reboot device

Issue

After reboot device I can read only that font which I installed last. Either Gujarati or Devangari

Note:- I am creating Only SoftKeyboard Apps which will work in all app, so I can't use Typeface class

I am just doing setText for read fonts..

textView1.setText("TextView1 ગુજરાતી");
textView2.setText("TextView2 हिन्दी ");

I want like this.

TextView1 ગુજરાતી
TextView2 हिन्दी

But I getting output like this

TextView1 ગુજરાતી
TextView2 ☐☐☐☐☐☐

or

TextView1 ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
TextView2 हिन्दी

Note:- I am creating Only SoftKeyboard Apps which will work in all app, so I can't use Typeface class

Answer 1

Have you tried to place these fonts in your asset folder?

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "fonts/Lohit-Devanagari.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtOnlyOne)
tv.setText("TextView1 ગુજરાતી");    
tv.setTypeface(tf);

Is root and fonts in system a requirement?

Answer 2

Installing fonts with the help of Font Installer apps, just replace the DroidSansFallback.ttf file from /system/fonts. I suggestion you to merge the fonts of Hindi and Gujarati (in your case) into one, then install the font using your app. Now you can see both of your fonts.
