There are plenty of other options to read in your language too, I am sure there should be an app from that? Are you asian? I 've seen quite a few asian reading apps. |
Yes, GoodReader may have started doing this recently. Have not opened this app in a while. Looks like an experimental feature (still appreciate their work).
Yes, I am Indian. There is font support for Tamil (not your obscure language; a national language in a more than one country). But the problem is this is one of those fonts that messes things up (default tamil font in iOS). And, I am not able to use another font.
And NO. I don't want another app just to be able to read the web. This is getting ridiculous. I just need to read unicode formatted text on a webpage. All your arguments for apps instead of doing webapps has been towards better experience (reading the web is reading the web; don't see it getting better with an app). I do not want the browser replaced. I do not want to have to open up an app just for this purpose. And, importantly I do not want to remember which app to open up to read this; pay for it separately when the web is free; or have to copy paste the link from Mail etc just because I cannot choose my preferred application for a job.
