Windows, OS X, and some Linux distros (Ubuntu, for example) install a whole mess of fonts by default. The advantage: you will probably have every font you will need for displaying text in most languages. The disadvantage: you will probably have a lot of fonts sitting around on your system that you don't need, don't want, and/or don't care about, to display text you can't understand. Debian, depending on how you install it, doesn't auto-install fonts for a slew of different languages. The advantage: you have less cruft on your system. The disadvantage: you will be missing glyphs you need to properly display some languages. The solution: install the fonts you need to properly display the languages you care about. The particular issue you're talking about isn't an Unicode issue. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
