How-To

Following these instructions will allow your Nokia N95-4 8GB NAM to read 90% of Korean characters, including the Calendar interface, gMail app, web browser, fring, and twibble. If you *really* need to write Korean characters, you can do this by first tweeting in Korean from the web, then using twibble to RT yourself, and cut & paste the text wherever you needed it.

I learned this by googling around and testing a couple of combinations. My first attempt bricked the phone (the three-key combo wouldn’t bring it back to life), and I just returned it to A/S and requested a new phone (sorry, Dell..)

Some steps laid out below may be redundant, but I explored this in 2007, too long ago to remember which steps are necessary and which ones were unnecessary backup measures. Follow at your own risk.

• I attempted the below steps in 2008 successfully, then did a re-run on 10/8/09 and used the chance to write up this how-to. The second time also worked fine.

Prep

1. Install Y-Browser http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
2. Get rid of adtronic (Y-browser will still work)
3. Create a sandbox folder in your computer with the following folder structure (to be copied to phone)

• C: Drive
  • Data
    • font-files
      • (*.TTF font files here)
• E: Drive
  • Data
    • FontRouter.ini copy & paste from http://pastebin.com/f7877d8b5
    • disFontRouter.ini http://pastebin.com/f37d4ac86
    • diffdirFontRouter.ini http://pastebin.com/f59bc87c0
    • Fonts
      • FontRouter.ini http://pastebin.com/f4e835bc0

Fonts

1. extract malgun.ttf and malgunbd.ttf from your windows xp fonts folder
2. copy & rename malgun.ttf as batang.ttf and gulim.ttf

Install FontRouter

1. Get FontRouter.LT.for.v9.Build20071109.unsigned.sis (or whatever is the latest version) from http://code.google.com/p/fontrouter/
2. Go to https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do
3. Enter your IMEI, Email, and upload the FontRouter .sis file
4. Follow the instructions – confirm request, wait about 5 min, and a downloadable sis will be provided
5. The downloaded sis file will have the same name, but don’t be fooled! This one is signed & can be installed.

   From this point on, DON’T RESTART YOUR PHONE before the remaining steps are completed

6. Install FontRouter. Ignore any warnings – this is developer, it’s not compatible with your phone, yadda yadda.
7. Using Y-Browser, delete the C:\Data\Fonts folder (It should only contain a file called “FontRouter.ini”)

Transfer Font Files & Settings

1. Connect the N95-4 via USB Data Transfer mode
2. Copy the sandbox folder to E:\Data, including the TTF files that need to be copied into C:
3. Disconnect
4. Using Y-Browser, create C:\Data\font-files and move the TTF files into there

Restart

1. Make sure all steps were followed properly. (Improper handling can brick your phone or lock your mass drive out of data transfer mode forever) – check files are where they are supposed to be, etc
2. Restart

Memos & Sandbox

• Program in Mass Storage, fonts in Phone memory (2-7-08)
• Program and fonts in mass storage (11-9-07)
