blackberry arabic text

In my application, i need to show some english and arabic text in a net.rim.device.api.ui.component.EditField. The text comes from server encoded with UTF-8. @ iPhone it is works fine but on BB we see small black filled rectangles instead of Arabic text.

I do not want to enforce users to download some font to see the text. I need embedded solution.

I am developing for BB OS 4.5.

It is definitely a font issue. In OS 5+ you can ship your app with a custom font that supports Arabic and install it at run time. Instructions and sample code for how to do this can be found in this development guide topic.

Unfortunately, there is any support for custom fonts pre-5.0 (see, e.g., this thread).
