Default Has anyone tried to add Arabic/Hebrew fonts yet?

Hello,
Since my Galaxy S is coming very soon, I was wondering if anyone here has successfully added Hebrew/Arabic language so that we can see it in the browser and in SMS.
Any tutorial?
Thanks.

I did with Hebrew fonts and it is working fine. Delete the fonts under /system/fonts and copy the new fonts to that folder. I used root explorer to do this.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

For me

I rooted my SGS then copy tahoma.ttf from windows to /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf and it read arabic but reversed and it should also read Hebrew

So Hebrew is ok.. no problem.

For Arabic, I read somewhere that its reversed and they are not attached to each other (like space is between each character).. is it right?! Whats the solution to this?

Where can I download those fonts?

you can dump /system folder that what we need by writing this to adb shell or terminal in your phone (your phone should be rooted and busybox installed)
su
tar -cvf /sdcard/dump.tar /system

you will find dump.tar in you scard (size ~268MB) and you can compress it and upload it to Rapidshare or mediafire or what ever you like

I will make it installable through update.zip or Odin3

Thank you

Even if we manage to install the dump that hes going to do
Will all the interface be in Arabic?
What if I want English as the interface and also want it to display Arabic language on Browser and SMS?

Mumtaz Hani, Great work man, I am downloading it right now !

Can I use JFF CSC file rather than the JG1 with your ROM ?

Hani, the link for downloading the ROM seems to have an Issue!
