The DejaVu Sans font (ver: 2.33) is faulty and it's not been updated since February, 2011. Since then, we have contacted the font team and have it fixed to support Uyghur properly. Unfortunately, there is no updated release (ver: 2.34?) yet, and it is still in the git repository. If Ubuntu pick up the updated DejaVu Sans from the git and build a newer DejaVu fonts package for the live CD, that would be perfect.
Another possibility is the KacstOne font. It supports Uyghur perfectly. We are puzzled why the installer or fontconfig picked up faulty DejaVu Sans instead of KacstOne when selecting Uyghur as the Installation language. The original Debian installer uses Nazli font for Arabic, Persian. It was faulty to support Uyghur. Recently our team, Ubuntu Uyghur Translation Team, fixed and updated the font to support Uyghur properly. It is just less than 100 KB in size, with the regular and bold style. As the FontConfig selects DejaVu for Uyghur, the currently available best approach could be making a newer version of DejaVu font package in Ubuntu, getting it from the git repository, not from the year old version 2.33. Because, even if we find a better font with small size, there might be a problem with fontconfig to pick up the right font, thus, making our effort useless. As we are running out of time for the 12.04 release, we are very anxious to try any available way to solve this problem to have a better Ubuntu experience in Uyghur language. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943830 Title: Uyghur don't display correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/943830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
