Hi there! I am having bengali font rendering problem in manjaro xfce. fonts are small and not correctly rendered. it was okay on fresh installation but then few days later maybe after some update it started showing like this
In which applications has the font started rendering incorrectly.
Were is your example text from, I assume it should show the roman characters/ words?
from panel to browsers. Facing rendering problem everywhere. I may not be able to describe how its showing perfectly but here is one: project is written as porject (in bengali), kinut instead of kintu (bengali for ‘but’). anyway, I reinstalled manjaro.
Hi this might be out of topic, but do you know how to change Fonts for bengali? I am unable to find a way to change to specific font. I have installed fonts using font manager, but cant select the font. I am using KDE Manjaro.
Did you find an answer?
Yes,
I have created the following directory
$HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d
and created a conf file with the name “90-bn.conf” in this directory
with the following content:
<fontconfig> <match target="pattern"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>bn</string> </test> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>sans-serif</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>Noto Sans Bengali</string> </edit> </match> <match target="pattern"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>bn</string> </test> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>serif</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong"> <string>Noto Sans Bengali</string> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
Now the font is much better, Note that I am using “Noto Sans Bengali” font for my purpose.
Sorry, for not able to format the content of the file, but I guess is pretty easy to understand.
This is the resource:

from which I made this configuration.
