Why is the Arabic font not supported on Samsung mobile phones using LWUIT?

I tested my mobile application on some Samsung mobile phones for testing (Samsung Corby b3410 and Samsung c6712). Here, the Arabic font is not displayed on these mobile phones. But it will work on Nokia mobile phones. I use System font to display Arabic fonts. Why is it not supported on these mobile phones? How to solve this problem?

LWUIT does not support Arabic bitmap fonts, when the font type is “system”, we simply delegate Arabic support for the base OS. If the base phone OS does not include support for Arabic, LWUIT will not work with Arabic.

To get around this, some people made efforts to implement Arabic bitmap fonts by modifying LWUIT to support this. We have not included any of these changes because:

a. They are very complex and language dependent. b. They do not solve the problem of accepting input data. from. Most devices in Arabic-speaking countries must support the Arabic language, so its problem is pretty niche.

These solutions may be sufficient for your needs, but personally I will not make efforts for this small part of the devices.
