I looked into this: Font selection is done in rootskel-gtk, and i added a variant for gu like this: ----- snip ------ # Set the primary GTK font according to language FONT_NAME=$DEFAULT_FONT case "$language" in ar|fa) FONT_NAME="Nazli" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ;; am) FONT_NAME="Abyssinica SIL" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 1)) ;; dz|bo) FONT_NAME="Tibetan Machine Uni" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ;; gu) FONT_NAME="Noto Sans Gujarati" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ja) FONT_NAME="VL Gothic" ;; km) FONT_NAME="Khmer OS System" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 1)) ;; kn) FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 1)) ;; ko) FONT_NAME="UnDotum" ;; pa) FONT_NAME="Lohit Punjabi" ;; si) FONT_NAME="Noto Sans Sinhala" ;; ta) FONT_NAME="TSCu_Paranar" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ;; th) FONT_NAME="Loma" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ;; ug) FONT_NAME="UKIJ Tuz" FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 1)) ;; zh*) FONT_NAME="AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" ;; bn|hi|ml|mr|ne) FONT_SIZE=$(($FONT_SIZE + 2)) ;; esac ----- snap ------ However, this does not work, Gujarati is still unreadable.
