I am new to Ubuntu and experiencing problem of urdu font. On some websites(such as bbcurdu) it appears correct and some places it do not (specifically facebook). I have tried to install font-nafees but no luck!

I have also tried firefox and chrome but problem persists.

  • Could you add website URLs? Also, add more detailed description about what is correct and what is not. Is knowledge of Urdu necessary or visibly different to anyone?

  • I still have no idea what "correctly" is. Do you mean visibly incorrect or just text characters are valid but incorrect in context. If visibly incorrect, could you add a screenshot of the incorrectly displayed page?

  • Also I noticed that dunya.com.pk has a "Download Font" button at the top of the page, though it seems to be Windows fonts. Maybe they are using a unique font? Are there other web sites that are incorrect?

  • Thanks for your continuous input. Characters are valid but incorrect in context. It has option to download but that is .exe file. Facebook also faces same problem. I think it is a type of font, when displayed on a website it causes problems.
