Ubuntu – Urdu fonts not rendering properly in Chrome

fontsgoogle-chrome

Chrome in Ubuntu is not rendering Urdu fonts properly. It is showing gibberish characters I'm not able to read. The problem is especially bad on Facebook.

I copied some Urdu fonts under ~/.fonts and under /usr/share/fonts/ and updated the cache and then restarted Chrome but even that didn't work.

This is how it is appearing on my system

I have installed MSCore fonts and many other fonts but it's still not working.

Best Answer

Download and install nafees-urdu fonts.

Update the package index:

sudo apt-get update

Install the fonts-nafees package:

sudo apt-get install fonts-nafees

and refresh your browser. This works fine for me.
