Also make sure you add a language entry for urdu from kde control panel -> regional settings - country and language. For example, i read pages in bangla, and i have bangla added first and english as the second. The /etc/environment should also reflect the choice of languages. Mine reads: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 :/usr/games" LANG="bn_BD.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="bn_BD:bn:en_IN:en_GB:en" both firefox and konqueror now render bengali beautifully, which it never did in XP. And of course make sure that you have all the language packs installed of course. Came here while looking into language and font rendering issues in linux.

I solved this problem in Firefox by changing the font for Arabic to Lateef (you can found it in synaptic I think or on the SIL website (sil.org). But, you will say, it still not solve the problem. Yes, you have to say, that 'you don't let the page to choose their own font instead of these ones' (sorry if the translation is incorrect, I'm not using firefox in English). As far as I can see, I don't need "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1" or "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0" anymore (well, didn't install Tahoma though, so maybe it's necessary for these particular pages).

I think you already have it installed. 2. Then you need fonts. Remember the firefox problem we have discussed only renders font badly but it doesn't display boxes with numbers.So most probably you dont have fonts installed correctly. Ubuntu Wiki has a detailed <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto" rel="nofollow">font install</a> page. Babar,

You would need Nafees Web Naskh, Urdu Naskh Asiatype and if you don't mind using microsoft fonts then Tahoma is useful too. In order to display the fonts correctly in Firefox you would need to enable pango for it, to do this open /etc/environment in text editor with super user rights and add the following line: MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 Save, exit and restart. Please let me know if this solved your problem. Wslam Babar,
