I used the Font Creator and the output size of the font is 312kb (instead of 335kb of the original ubuntu font). Your font is about 680kb. I used the droidsans.ttf from ICS platform (v1.0 build 114) and it did contain the glyph
I’ve found the reason for the bigger size. I’ve overseen to untick the old style kern table option. Now it’s only 273,4kb. I’ll upload it together with bold and italic.

The font is really good!

I love Greek & Ancient Greek letters in your font (i like the curves) but italic Greek just isn't my type. I think it should be less space between some letters.

Great work
Thank you! The italic is far away from ready, especially greek and cyrillic still need alot of work.

If you don’t want to reflash you can also use a font installer program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...font.installer

Thanks so much for the fixed ubuntu font. Looks great on my Live with Walkman™. Can I make a request though?

I see the same box character on the attached font. Can you help me fix it like you did for the ubuntu font, please?

Thanks so much!

You’re welcome!

The thing about the squares is, they show up wherever a glyph is found which doesn’t have a representation in the font. So it depends on where you see the box character. With the fixed Ubuntu font for example you’ll see many boxes if you want it to display Vietnamese because it lacks a whole block of multiple accented characters which will be added in a later development stage. The Droid fonts you attached will fail for many more languages because it only contains the code points of ISO-8859-1 which is oriented at western european languages (it doesn’t even contain a Euro symbol). If that is the problem, the simple fix won’t help you, one would have to know which characters you are missing to do something about it.

The second problem is: what is the license of the fonts? There’s no licence information so it’s not clear if one may change anything about the font.

There’s an Android logo font which contains the FEFF character and many more (incl. greek and cyrillic): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=86 — perhaps this helps.

Thanks to both of you guys!

I can't remember which site I downloaded the font from but its really clean compared to the android logo font so I liked it.

New version as reaction on more box-sightings in the Kyrillos Rom thread. In fact the character U-2009 (thin space) was missing. I added the whole block of (non)spacing characters from U-2000 up to U-200F.
Non-vietnamese UI-elements should hardly show boxes again.

They are already present in the font. If you look at the specimen (https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamon...n.pdf?raw=true) on p.3 you find a czech example that shows all three of them (at least in lowercase).
