Nepali Fonts for Android displays Box... SOLVED!

In facebook or in nepali blogs, friends post messages in Nepali Dev-nagarik script (unicode?). However, because I do not have the proper fonts they are displayed as boxes...
I looked around for solving the problem. no solutions found yet.
Let me give you the hint: the first result in Google: 24duniya just has the keyword traps without a solution. I wonder if this post will be picked up in search engine query which has no solution listed yet.

Anyone out there who knows the solution?
EDIT:
Kamal replied on the comment with the solution:

Kamal Raj Chapagain said...
For nepali blogs, opening in opera mini browser configuring it with the bitmap font for complex scripts(enabled) works
.
Type about:config in the opera mini addressbar
The last option on that page is bitmap font for complex scripts... enable it
 That's it!

  1. For nepali blogs, opening in opera mini browser configuring it with the bitmap font for complex scripts(enabled) works . But it doesn't work for facebook(not the web version) and other phone applications :((

  2. Maybe you should start writing the script now since we all need it, atleast those of us with Adroids.

  3. @Kamal, the tap zoom in OP mini is strangely strange... thats why I am sticking with the default one. Please do write the details.

    @Ekendra: Thanks... But I am not an expert on that :)

  4. @Nabin Dai: Yeah, its strange but at least this is one that seems to be working at this moment.
    Just type config: in the adress bar for configuring it, and enable the last option (Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts), it works :))
