weird display of kannada fonts

March 17, 2006 - 4:07am — vpkotian

Need help here. I have installed all the libraries needed. scim-m17n etc. Now I can see Kannada fonts on my gedit. They are also displayed properly on the firefox title bar. But on the body of firefox, display is still broken of Kannada letters. I use redhat linux. I have also added Nudi fonts and Kedage. Please help.

firefox on windows

Hello i am using Firefox 1.5.0.1 on win98 platform.

I tried unsistalling IE 6 and then agian install with arabic support. But it gave an error message saying it cannot conect to the server. But this system has a internet connection!! very bad.

Now i tried firefox (win98 platform). I installed akshara font. The kannada fonts appear.. but they dont appear properly. Any solution for this??

Re: weird display of kannada fonts

I do use RHEL AS 4.0(FCS). I have noticed that kannada characters get garbled even with latest mozilla firefox. The method I use to see kannada characters was

1. Use the age old MOZILLA not mozilla firefox - It works fine. However surprisingly when I upgraded RHEL 4.0 from FCS to next release, the problem persisted. Then I started using

2. konqueror browser which also displays kannada characters properly. But a bit slow.

Also the tool Brahmi.jar available here would be handy.

We at sampada community hope that you would overcome your problem and post your next comment in kannada. If you use Brahmi.jar, (and ofcourse adopt the age old copy/paste method), you could type and/or read sampada contents even though you dont have browser that displays the characters properly.

Konqueror on GNOME?

Hi,

Just wondering. Can I download Konqueror web browser separately and run it on a GNOME desktop? So far, my experience is that Apple safari, which is based on konqueror, is the best browser to display Kannada!

Pradeep Bhat

P.S. I have a Mac laptop, but also use a linux desktop and so far none of the browser (and none of the settings in them) have helped me seeing a proper Kannada display.

ಹೌದು,

ಹೌದು, konqueror ಕೂಡ ಇಂದಿನವರೆಗೂ ಕನ್ನಡ ರೆಂಡರ್ ಮಾಡುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ 'best browser'. ಏನೂ ತೊಂದರೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆಯೇ ಕನ್ನಡ ರೆಂಡರ್ ಮಾಡತ್ತೆ.

ನೀವು GNOME ನಲ್ಲಿ ಏನೂ ತೊಂದರೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆಯೇ konqueror ಹಾಕಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಕೆ ಡಿ ಇ ಸಂಬಂಧಿತ ಕೆಲವು ಲೈಬ್ರರಿಗಳನ್ನ ಕೂಡ ಡೌನ್ಲೋಡ್ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾಗಿ ಬರಬಹುದು, ಅಷ್ಟೆ. Smiling
