Friends, Any one tried browsing Indic Language Web Pages with Ubuntu Hardy? The Indic Fonts appear brittle, lacking clarity. This was not the case with Gutsy. Some basic settings missing? I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and found entries pertaining to "Files" and "Modules" section missing and added the following and restarted the X. Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" # path to defoma fonts FontPath " /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" EndSection The above step didn't help even after restarting the machine? What is lacking thats causing the clarity of Indic fonts? I have installed ttf-indic-fonts also. I have taken the screenshots of Hindi Wikipedia(1) and Tamil Wikipedia(2) for reference. Do we need to install xfs? or xfstt? and configure accordingly? Also if I name a folder it is also not appearing proper. Similar is the case with gedit.

Some basic settings missing? I am not able to understand what you mean by brittle. Does following screenshot also show the problem you are facing? http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/2628/screenshotmozillafirefoes2.png Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.

Maybe you could try to force the font.. by setting preference for one font (eg in gedit, or wrt script in firefox ).
