Support for sophisticated scripts like Arabic and Indic is not supported in Android 1.0 (they are planned for a later release, can't tell when). Which means that even if you install an Indic font, chances are that text will not be rendered properly anyway. Also, an application can provide it's

I don't think the Market is accessible this way. Someone on an earlier thread commented that what is more likely is that there is an API that the Market app reads, and assembles its UI with. In other words, the Market isn't using a WebView or Browser window, but a native UI. -- Eric On Oct
