Hi,
In both my browsers opera and chromium I am having an issue related to
font.
They are not able to recognise the special symbols or emoticons or any
language other than English.
There is usually the interplay of two concepts ie. locales and fonts.
LOCALES
/etc/locale.gen
locale --all-locales
ar_SA
ar_SA.iso88596
ar_SA.utf8
C
C.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
tr_TR
tr_TR.iso88599
tr_TR.utf8
turkish
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb18030
zh_CN.gb2312
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8
As you can see, on my Archlinux box, I have Arabic, Turkish, Chinese locales
enabled in addition to C, POSIX and UTF-8.
FONTS
The following fonts are recommended for arabic and chinese.
noto-fonts
noto-fonts-cjk
noto-fonts-emoji
noto-fonts-extra
TEST
The following word should be rendered in it's native language
en: Takun
ar: تكون
cn: 是
Please share your findings.
warm regards
Saifi.
