I have worked on the Indic fonts and came with one font which support most of the Indian languages which includes Hindi(Devanagari), Kannada, Bengali, Oriya, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi.
Find the Attached Zip containing DroidSansFallback.ttf, Replace your device's DroidSansFallback.ttf font with this.
Rooted Phone needed.
Note: Android still doesn't support them officially and don't include conjugate processing. Because of which the character rendering is not perfect, but readable.
Like "ಕ ನ್ನ ಡ" is rendered as "ಕ ನ್ ನ ಡ".

Dear Sridham..
Just one question, what is the original use of DroidSansFallback.ttf ??
Secondly, Galaxy S recent Froyo Update (DDJP6 ROM Supports Hindi, both on facebook and web pages). The font name is Droidhindi.ttf found in system\font directory.

Haven't got my froyo yet need to work on it yet.
By the by can you share the Droidhindi.ttf font?
I heard there is some still doesn't render properly. Are you able to read hindi?
how to replace the font which is in system folder. myfiles does not show system files? File expert shows but does not replace? dual file and ghost file managers do not show system folders?? help!
Any new development in this issue? I have googled infinitely and posted querry on xda forum. But no reply.
The Samsung and HTC must surely have solution. How can they not release the Hindi/Devenagarik language as open source. Its irony that open source platform like Android is stuck in language issue, while I thougth there are millions of Hindi speaking people around the world.
