Please tell me how to add Arabic Support in Blackberry OS 4.3 and 4.5, while i am getting Arabic text from DB in UTF-8 format and when i want to show on OS 4.3(8130) or OS 4.5(8830) Simulator it displays "Small Filled Squares" and on OS 5.0(9700) Simulator that supports Arabic, the Arabic Text displays. So kindly give me solution of it, i will be very thankful to you.
The BlackBerry needs to have the arabic fonts package installed to display arabic text. When downloading the simulator from RIMs website, look for one that has arabic fonts included. For real physical devices, you can install those fonts (and input methods) using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, e.g. when installing a new (multilanguage) firmware version. I'd assume that users who want to see arabic fonts already have that installed.
If you want to install your own custom font, read this article: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/11958/Load_and_use_a_custom_font_899948_11.jsp

I want to use fonts that will work on web pages viewed on all recent iPads. I found lists of fonts that come with a given version of IOS. But that's not what I want. I prefer a list of fonts that actually comes with a given iPad, not version of IOS. How to figure this out?
I always use this site to deal with fonts: http://iosfonts.com
It will help you.

That's not how it works.
Fonts are tied to the device's operating system, not the device itself.
An iPad will have whatever fonts come with the version of iOS that is installed on it.
To see which versions of iOS are supported by which device generation, check out the iOS Version History on Wikipedia.
I had done my regional language(telugu) application .it is working in OS 7 (9790) but I need it in OS 6 also all the mechanism is working like parsing ,but not displaying the font(appears like boxes).
plz help me to over come this situation
With the OS6 device, try loading a web page with telugu, to make sure the device is configured properly with fonts. If the web browser is not able to render the telugu text, then you need to look into the device's font configuration.
i am newbie to blackberry development. i got Arabic support for blackberry simulator but i couldn't install Arabic in my blackberry device.Can any one guide me to install Arabic in my blackberry phone.
Thanks..
Are you trying to modify your phone to allow you to type in Arabic or do you simply want to display Arabic text? It would help to know what model device you have and what OS version you are running
I came across this post the the Blackberry Support Forums: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Arabic-Font-support-in-blackberry/td-p/1540517
If you're trying to enter Arabic text, it seems that support for entering Arabic text on your device depends on your carrier and your phone. Alternatively, maybe you can try searching for "Arabic IME" in the Blackberry App World to find a third party app that lets you enter arabic text.
If you simply want to write an app that displays Arabic text then the link I provided also links to a tutorial about how to implement custom font support.
Good luck!
I am running iPad simulator version 4.0 - and it appears as though it has no Korean language support.
Does anyone know why, or if there is a way to enable this?
I had Korean support in my iPhone app, and the simulator for that had the proper language support.
The iPad device also has no support for the Korean language. Just wait a few days and iOS 4.2 will be there, probably with Korean.
I am developing some applications in Windows Mobile 6 on Visual Studio 2008, and I need to show some information in Hebrew, but my emulator doesn't show that language. Instead it shows very strange characters. How do I set Hebrew font in my emulator, so that I will be able to see Hebrew?
I notice the Windows Mobile 6 Localized Emulator Images doesn't include Hebrew so you may need to install your own font to the emulator and then reference that font from your application.
