Scenario: My app receives text from user which can be in different languages depending upon what the user has entered. It is displayed in a label later and android system automatically select an appropriate font for the language like Hebrew/Hindi/English/Arabic. Need: I wish to change font of certain language like Hindi to a custom font lets say HindiNewRegular.otf Problem: Changing label.typeface changes it to the desired custom font but when input language is different it renders incorrectly.
