Problem in multilanguage support in j2me-LWUIT

[everlastingmani]

I am beginner in mobile app development. I’m currently working on providing multilingual support to my application. This support need to be given whether the mobile support that particular language or not.
I have found the method of uploading the font in resource bundle and use that as a font for my label. The problem is, my string is getting cut at the top. For example, I’m working on Tamil support using Bamini font. The full stop and the marks above the characters are getting cut.
Kindly help to sort it out.

Resouces r = Resources.open(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/simpleTheme.res"));

Font font = r.getFont ("Bamini");
r.getTheme("Android Theme").put("font",font);
r.getTheme("Android Theme").put("sel#font",font);
r.getTheme("Android Theme").put("Title.font", font);
UIManager.getInstance().setThemeProps(r.getTheme("Theme 1"));

The above way, I used the tamil font(Bamini.ttf). When I tried to display the tamil characters with dot above, the dot is not displayed in that character.
Kindly help in this.

I would utilise dedicated LWUIT support and/or discussion boards for this, because they are more aware which font resource might be suitable for your language.

Here at Nokia Discussion board, all I can ask: Do you really need LWUIT? The built-in multilingual support of LCDUI is quite mature now.
