Android: Read Kannada/Other Local Languages in your mobile

Here's how to Read Kannada, other Indian languages or any Unicode characters in your Andriod mobile:

(Mainly for Facebook ..!!)

This one is mainly for old android sets which doesn't have support for Unicode.  All today's Andriod mobiles display it correctly, by default.

Here's the steps what I followed to read Kannada on my Android phone:

1. Download and install 'Opera Mini' from Android Market/Google Play Store

2. Open Opera Mini and type below words in address bar, hit enter:

about:config

3. This will open a settings page. Scroll down to until you see below line:

Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts

4. There should be a drop down list, select 'Yes' and Save it.

5. Now open new tab and test it. You can type below address, which is a kannada website:

sampada.net

You should be able to see Kannada letters, clearly.
