Arabic Language on Hero -- MoDaCo I hope you read this!

---

Hello, I am new to android, I was an iPhone user, I followed all the tutorials and now I have a fully rooted device, partitioned SD card, Latest Radio and MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.0.

I noticed that when I run Custom Locale I can see Arabic support, but when I apply it, I only see squares instead of fonts!

Does that mean that there is Arabic support now but the font is missing? Can anyone please help me understand what's going on? or how can I add fonts to test Arabic support?

Thanks.

+1 on that

I pushed the Deva vu fonts to the hero, now I can see Arabic but the letters are not connected! What's interesting is; seems like HTC translated everything to Arabic, I hope that means we will see Arabic support when they release the update.

Correct. It appears that more work needs to be done. Someone had already come up with a Thai and Herbrew language pack, so it is theoretically possible for someone who is familiar with Arabic to create an appropriate font pack that can be pushed to the device using ADB, or even as an update.zip.

However, I'm venturing to guess that most of the participants in this forum are not fluent in Arabic, hence any demand for Arabic will be highly dependent on finding someone who will invest time and effort in getting the font packs done.

I'll look into it...

Please Modaco we need just to support Arabic to read and write in SMS and surfing Internet.

If you need help to improve Arabic in you ROM we pleased to help you.

We are really appreciated your help.

Regards

I hope my Hero supports Arabic ASAP, most probably modaco can do it the fastest:P (please modaco? ) as HTC might take a while since the Hero wasn't officially released in the Arab countries.
