Blackberry Arabic fonts

Last night I was trying to upgrade my Blackberry Curve (8320) firmware. I downloaded a firmware from the internet and upgraded the blackberry to OS 4.5.0.124.

The firmware is much better than the older firmware (T-Mobile) 4.5.0.82. Faster, and more free memory. However, the newer firmware didn’t have arabic fonts. I kept on searching the internet on how to add arabic fonts to the blackberry, until I found a way.

I installed the older firmware arabic fonts to the newer one. It worked perfectly!!
How to:

1. First download JL_Cmder
2. Use the javaloader.exe to load the arabic fonts to the blackberry.

javaloader -u load net_rim_font_semitic.cod

the file net_rim_font_semitic.cod is from my older firmware.
3. The blackberry will reboot!
Now you have arabic in your blackberry.

Hi ali
can you provide the Arabic cod file through email

Unfortunately, I cannot due to its license. However, you can download the multi-language firmware for your blackberry and have the COD File loaded to your blackberry.

Hi… I have the same issue like yours, I have a 8320 with 4.5 OS without Arabic. I downloaded JL_.. but the problem is I don’t know how to use it not how to apply the arabic fonts on it. Please help me and I’ll really appreciate, I need a step by step instruction.
