While choosing Nepali language. I see there are slight differences between the layout provided by Ubuntu's Keyboard Layout vs. the standard font layout provided for Nepali language.

I am also not able to install the provided font. Is there a way to correct this ?

I get the Font from

http://mpp.org.np/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&gid=8&Itemid=63

and the layout is enter image description here

and the Ubuntu's layout is : enter image description here

There are no symbols - !@#$%^&*() .

  • Do you suggest fixing the Ubuntu 'standard', or are you looking for how to adjust the keyboard layout (for your needs)?

  • I would suggest to fix the Ubuntu's layout. It will be helpful for others as well. For the time being, I would like to see a way to adjust it myself.

    Importantly, the Zero Width Non Joiner (plus key) and the Zero Width Joiner (equals key) is not functioning as it should. It is required to generate other important characters.

There is a known issue with Nepali romanized keyboard shipped with certain version of Ubuntu. correct version here

The Nepali Romanized Keyboard layout shipped with Ubuntu (located at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/np) is incomplete. The definition for the whole upper row (1-0 keys) are missing. Also, more importantly, zero-width joiner (ZWJ) and zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ) characters are wrongly defined

Jwalanta tackles this problem in detail in his blog

there is keyboard layout editor if you want to create a new layout yourself This has some issues in 12.04 but there are workarounds

edit:

I got tired with issues in standard layout so built these based on iBus
