Arabic font

---

Hi,

I tried to install Arabic font on my samsung captivate device. In the part of the font installing process I replaced the litewebcore.so file in the system/lib directory. After replacing the litewebcore.so file, the phone is stuck with the At&t logo screen World Phone. On boot up the phone plays the samsung galaxy s sound in the background. Can any body help how to get back my phone to home screen.

can't help you with fixing that unless you flash using Odin and lose all your info (unless you have a backup).
Adding Arabic font should be the same as Hebrew though. You need to find a zip of the fonts that include arabic and then copy them to your system/fonts folder. I can't post links but try to google DeJavu fonts (they include arabic) and just push them using adb (you should be able to google that as well). you only need to push font files (ttf) and that's it. If you wish to type arabic, after you get the fonts installed use AnySoftKeyboard (available in the market)

Actually it's not the same

Just found more info. The only difference is that the letters are not connected. I guess that was the system file that screwed your phone.

I would say just install the fonts and you can view arabic but not connected letters.
Froyo (2.2) should bring Hebrew and Arabic natively, so you can wait for that.
(You need to replace the x's in the link with t's)

I was able to install arabic fonts. But I did not get connected words. To get the connected words I copied the litewebcore.so file and my phone got stuck on the at&t logo screen. I there any way that I can get backup of my data in the current situation.

Do you get anywhere past that screen? can you get adb to recognize the phone? Do you have rom manager installed. If not, I doubt there is any easy way to get back on.
What you most likely have to do is use Odin to flash back to stock. Once you have all your accounts setup make a backup!!! Use Rom manager, it's free and takes just a few minutes. You can always restore and it will save you HOURS! I haven't see any fixes yet for the connected letters but I'm no expert....
