We need an Android page
Since I have a nearly four year old MacBook that I still can't seem to make properly support Indic fonts (Telegu, Kannada, and Burmese properly, Oriya at all), I thought I'd try browsing Wikipedia articles with these fonts on my Galaxy Tab. And lo and behold, year-old Android distro does a worse job than OSX.
I bought my Galaxy Tab from the Amazon fulfilled seller, and it turned out to be the Croatian model. I wasn't happy about this, though I was too stressed to take the issue to Amazon when the seller refused do anything about it, but in hindsight, it might be a good thing, since it means my device comes with a wide variety of linguistic input options (the default of course was Croatian, and man did that ever drive me mad) that might well have been absent on a model for the American market.
I can't find any articles that deal with my reasons for wanting to be able to read multilingual fonts--reading Wikipedia articles that aren't full of little boxes, and since it's far more difficult than it ought to be, I figured I'd create a page. While I don't actually need to be able to read Georgian or Hindi on my tablet, I don't like to admit defeat. It's also a call for help. While I consider myself fairly technologically proficient, I'm willing to admit that I'm stumped, and hoping that my struggles will catch someone's attention. Unlikely I know, given the current state of Wikipedia's multilingual support articles. But here we go... --Quintucket (talk) 01:07, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
