I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

In my character-map some scripts (Languages) are missing.

How can I get them? Is it possible to reinstall them?

For example,here there is no mathematics option:

ims

apt-cache policy gucharmap
gucharmap:
Installed: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu2 0
    500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  • Just a guess but you maybe need to install specialised fonts? apt-cache search math | grep font gives a list you may want to look at. ttf-bitstream-vera has "a selection of mathematical and other symbols". Hope this helps. By the way, I see what you see and I haven't installed Microsoft TrueType core fonts.

Switch the view from By Script to By Unicode Block via the menu entry View.

After that is an entry Mathematical Operators in the left pane:

Or Tamil

sudo apt-get install ttf-tamil-fonts

  • Without switching, most of the math symbols are in the "Common" section.

This solved the font and script issues for me.

sudo apt install fonts-noto
