Hi,

Trying to view the following webpages:

1. http://bit.ly/bF8EDL encoded as utf-8
2. http://bit.ly/b6YRTo encoded as iso-8859-16

on an Android phone resulted in the following result
http://grab.by/47mT

The square in the screenshot is due to character
T-Comma U021B

Romanian language has five special characters
A-Breve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%82
A-Circumflex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%82
I-Circumflex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8E
T-Comma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%9A
S-Comma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%98

ISO-8859-16 contains all the required characters.
ISO-8859-2 contains all but S-Comma and T-Comma,
but it contains S-Cedilla and T-Cedilla, which are
pour substitutes for T-Comma and S-Comma.

Back to Droid font, Droid font has T-Cedilla as required by
ISO-8859-2, but is implemented as T-Comma, and it
doesn't use the same (correct) implementation for
T-Comma which is required by ISO-8859-16.

Droid font has the right character in the wrong place!

I imagine that this job can be fixed by Ascender
easily, it took me half an hour to open the fonts in
fontforge and copy and paste the character in the
right place.

Note that fontforge produces lower quality fonts because
it tries to decipher the ttf format.

Thank you for listening,
Cristian Adam.
