Mangal Font Issue on iPhone

Greetings to all members,

I have an issue with the Mangal Font in Language Hindi on iPhone. It is not displaying accurately on iPhone. Like we want to display below text coming from some URL in iPhone Safari.

"अंतरराष्ट्रीय अभिनेता शाहिद कपूर मानते हैं कि बीते दिनों की कई यादें बहुत गहरी होती हैं और अक्सर ताजा भी हो जाती हैं. ट्विटर पर उन्होंने लिखा है ‘बीते दिनों की कुछ यादें बहुत ज्यादा गहरी होती हैं"

and some half characters are not showing as such.
Although it is displaying accurately on MAC OS X safari.

So, i think this might be due to non availability of Mangal Font in iPhone.
or is there any way to install Mangal Font on iPhone or Can Apple provide the support for it?

Any help regarding this is most welcome.

Thanks.
avibatbha.

If you read the tech specs for the iPhone you will see that it does not yet support Hindi or any Indic language.

The Mangal font is only usable on Windows. For correct Hindi display, Apple devices must use a different font called Devanagari MT. The iPhone (like the iPod and the iPad) is a closed system and users cannot add fonts, but as mentioned by the other responder you can ask Apple for Hindi support via
