I have just started with Android development and bought a handset(HTC Hero) for test and usage purposes. The sad part is that it doesn't display one of the scripts (Devanagari to be precise). Hence, I would like to contribute to the Android project to help render it. However, since I have just started I have no ideas of where to look for and begin with !

To be very precise, I would like to contribute for proper rendering of Nepali Language (Devanagari Script) for the Android OS. Directions please ?

For ex. I would like to be able to see the following in an Android device rendered properly.

The best thing to do in this case is to get in touch with the individuals assigned to these issues and feature requests on the android project.
