I've read in several forums that Indian version of Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) supports Hindi language. Some of them mentioned it should support Bengali/Bangla also.
Can anyone here confirm that- 1) The latest Froyo firmware DDJP6 for Samsung Galaxy S supports Bengali? I don't need IME/a Bengali keyboard, just ability to render Bengali websites (like, Bengali Wikipedia) properly would be great.
2) If it doesn't support Bengali out of the box, does installing a Bengali fallback font serve the purpose? Please note that merely showing Bengali characters won't help. As this is a complex language, a proper shaper must be present in firmware to render kar/matra and conjuncts correctly.
Update: I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy series device. Yes, its Indian ROM has Bangla shaper, only replacing DroidSansFallback.ttf with a Bangla font will do.
Answer
I have latest official firmware sgs. I can see hindi website, but no bangla.....at all!!!
