Read Malayalam(or other complex script languages) on mobile using Opera Mini

After searching a lot I found a technique in which we can enable a feature in Opera Mini browser which is available even for low end mobile phones with java/J2ME/MIDP support. This will work for almost all language which has unicode character maps available. eg:- Indian languages Malayalam, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali etc.



Inorder to read Malayalam or other complex scripts, we have to enable a special menu on the Opera Mini browser by typing "config:" in the address bar of Opera Mini and click "Go".


 


This will open a configuration menu as shown in the screen shot below. Here we will be able to change lot of settings like feedindex, linklists folding etc. In ths menu there will be an entry called "Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts". By default this setting will be disabled. Now change the setting to Yes and click Save.

 Scroll down to find the option "Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts"



Choose "Yes" Option on Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts.

Thats all.!!!

Now you can read complex scripts such as all indian languages and other scripts dat u cannot read in mobile before...

Have a look on what exactly happened...






NOTE : Use OperaMini 4.2 or above
