Hi Bilal,

The problem is most of the sites use different fonts for Urdu language. I am sure Facebook is using some thing else to render it. Any sample or link i can look at?

The font mentioned on get.tv urdu site does not work well in Linux(as far as i tested it). The only way to find the solution is to contact geo tech team(if they have any).

thanks for this guide. I followed it, fonts on urdupoint and bbcurdu work great now. However, fonts on http://urdu.geo.tv/ don’t. Any suggestions for making that work too?

You can give the Ubuntu method a try, as mint is based on Ubuntu. I haven’t tested it in mint by the way.

The crulp.org website is down as the domain has expired. Can you attach the fonts with your post for us?

Thank you!

Salam Sajid,

I am pretty sure, it will work with no issue. But i feel that you are missing some thing in the steps. Try to repeat the steps carefully and restart the browser.

P.s: Also make sure that the fonts are copied correctly and are the correct fonts needed by the site.

If this did not solve it, you can take screen shots of the site, fonts copied to specified directory, terminal output etc and post the links for the screen shots here, so that i can help you.

Good luck!

Actually browser specific fonts are not distro related issue. Fonts are rendered separately for browser than OS itself. I am pretty sure this is not openSUSE related problem. If that fonts are working in Mandriva, you can copy and use it in openSUSE, give it a shot.
