How To Enable Hindi / Unicode Font Display On Android Devices

I often wanted to read some hindi newspaper in my HTC Wildfire which runs on Android 2.2(Froyo). But whenever i open any hindi newspaper website, it only shows box box and box... i.e. Android devices do not support Hindi Fonts.


Here i am showing the method by which these Unicode / Hindi Fonts can be read:
1. Download the latest version of Opera Mini browser from Android Market.


2. Open Opera Mini and type "opera:config" on the address bar and press Enter.


3. Scroll down, on "Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts", select "Yes" and press the "Save".


Now you can read almost all Brahmic or Indic scripts such as Hindi, GujaratiMalayalam...etc. through Opera Mini.

Fake Information on Twitter

For some days i am noticing that a FAKE information is being spreading in Twitter. This is about Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission(MPPSC) 2011 advertisement. Interestingly, these informations are being tweeted by so called career websites on which many youths, who are seeking government jobs, are relied upon.






            ...and particular this tweet is telling that 2011's advertisement has been published. When i checked it on Mar 6, 2011 by visiting  MPPSC official website,there is no any such information.

One can confirm these information by visiting MPPSC official website. This is absurd and funny that in the age of Internet where one can have easy access to any website for confirmation, such type of tweets/ informations are being publishing.
