Mozilla Helps BBC with Fonts

- blahedo 15y agoWhat's particularly nice about this is that there is a category "Tech Evangelism" that this can be moved to rather than just filing it as "works for me" or "not our fault" and washing their hands of it.
- pontiacred 15y agoHas anyone been able to get indic fonts to work on Ubuntu? I tried a while ago to get Punjabi language sites to work but I kept running into problems. They work fine on windows and mac. I think http://www.ajitjalandhar.com/20110928/ http://www.ajitjalandhar.com/20110928/ didn't work last time I gave it a shot.
- jmillikin 15y agoThat site seems to be using two different methods to represent indic text. The blue bar on top, and the poll on the left, are displayed as garbage. Looking in the source, they are using iso-8859-1 encoding, with a font named "Satluj" which maps extended ASCII characters to (presumably) indic characters. The rest of the site, including the central column of text (new articles?) renders correctly in Ubuntu. I've not done anything special to install middle-Asian fonts, as far as I know.
