• Android Bangla Font: Bangla Font for Android


    I have received too many requests for a Bangla Font for Android. Unfortunately Android is not so matured in handling Unicode and Complex Script and there was no way of installing new font without rooting the device, but Samsung has come up with a great way allowing installing fonts. So I have created this Bangla Font which will work on Samsung Devices or other devices with custom font support, so now you can see Bangla in Applications, but don’t get too excited, the complex script (Jukto Borno and so) may not appear correctly in some devices, also some carriers may create some problems. I have tried a lot to solve the issue but I couldn’t, well I said Android is not that matured in that way. So this Font comes without any warranty, so I haven’t published it in the Android Market.
    There is a proverb in Bangla: Something is better then nothing
    So please try to be happy at least now you can see Bangla in your apps without rooting the device

    Installation:

    • First of all don’t use Opera Mini browser for any of the step below, use Android’s default browser.
    • Go to your device’s Settings > Application and make sure “Unknown sources” is checked. If you see any warning click OK.
    • Download the Font file to your Phone or Tablet from this link http://j.mp/banglaf .
      Either go to browser and type this link http://j.mp/banglaf
      Or Scan the QR Code below with your Barcode Scanner app and go to the link (by tapping “Open browser” button) 
    • Or Download the file in your PC and transfer to Phone http://j.mp/banglaf
    • Open the downloaded file by tapping, in your device and Install

    That’s it. Now start your device’s browser and visit the link http://j.mp/bangladroid if you see the idiom (nai mama) above then it’s okay.
