Title:
Browsers don't display Devanagari script correctly
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In the file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf the "Raghindi" font family
is specified for devanagari script in Serif and Sans-serif style while "Lohit
Hindi" in monospace. On the other hand, the Raghindi font is not installed by
default. Because of this, the web browsers including Chrome and Firefox don't
display the script correctly. A lot of people struggle to correct it by
manually changing the settings in the browsers and partially succeed.
The problem can be completely solved by replacing "Raghindi" in
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf with "Lohit Hindi" or any other
pre-installed font.
