Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II mobile phone which uses Android software. I then downloaded the Firefox for Mobile application to use it as my main browser, but I have a problem, which is, whenever I visit a Kurdish Sorani website some of the characters appear like a small box. Can you suggest some solution please?

Thanks.

Sorry, most Android devices do not include fonts with full support for the Kurdish script, and so Android applications like Firefox are not able to display Kurdish correctly. For some more details, see this link:

Unfortunately, there's currently no easy way to install additional fonts on an Android device. For a future version of Firefox, we plan to make Firefox automatically download fonts for missing scripts:
