As Android adds support for new languages besides English, my utility app should ideally support those languages without modification to the apk. Ideally, I would like to use a custom font instead of the default Android font (I believe there are only 2 fonts that come with Android platform). The defaults fonts will automaticly support those additionally languages I suppose. Since my app is using custom (.ttf file) TrueType font, any tips on how to design (In my case, I will probably purchase fonts from a third party instead of designing on my own) ttf font that is future proof as new languages are added? Is there a list of languages which Android will support?
