So Android uses Unicode fonts, fonts may not be available.. Just complain LOUDLY and PUBLICLY and together that not supporting fonts for Indic languages is not acceptable in India (and outside of India <grin> ).

Android 1.5 did not support Indic rendering at all. AFAIK, this problem continued until 2.0.

Android 2.1 does not support web fonts and Indic fonts are not shipped with any device I know of.

Android 2.2 does support web fonts and indic rendering, but doesn't ship with fonts either. Here's a quick test page for anyone who wants to check from their phone: http://experimenting.in/css3/webfonts/hindifontsdemo/devanagarifonts.htm
