Bangla Complex Font problem in system Tray

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

On my system tray on upper top right corner where the date is located, the date is showing শুক্ র instead of শুক্র. And time as 11:23:27 অপরাণ্ হ instead of অপরাহ্ন. So, complex words are showing separated.

I ran

fc-match -a | grep -i beng

Output came:

Lohit-Bengali.ttf: "Lohit Bengali" "Regular"
fonts

  1. You can raise the precedence of the Lohit Bengali font by adding this configuration file:

    $ cat ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-bangla-preferred.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <alias>
        <family>sans-serif</family>
        <prefer>
            <family>Lohit Bengali</family>
        </prefer>
    </alias>
</fontconfig>

    Steps:

    • Create the directory:

      mkdir -p ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d

    • Open the new document for editing:

      gedit ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-bangla-preferred.conf

    • Copy the above (as from "<?xml version="1.0"?>") and paste it into the document.

    • Save.

    Hopefully it will result in a difference after next reboot.
