Ubuntu :: (Persian) Fonts - Mozilla Firefox Cannot Show The Farsi Website Properly
Apr 10, 2010
I have problem with Farsi fonts on the ubuntu. The Mozilla Firefox cannot show the Farsi website properly. I have already installed all Farsi fonts available Synaptic Package Manager. Anybody know hoe to solve the problem.
how to install firefox 3.6 on my 9.1 ubuntu. About adding various repository and the a sudo apt get and all that. I can do it that way, and I am sure it will work.
What stop me to just download the .deb package from mozilla for the version I want and install it? Will it be less integrated to the system, will it not be compatible with my 64bit ubuntu? I just find it so much simpler to download a package from the web and double click on it than going through terminal, yet no-one seems to propose this option.
the problem i am experiencing on my laptop (hp pavillion zv5000) which runs ubuntustudio 9.10 (this problem also occurred with ubuntu 9.10, before i upgraded to ubuntu studio) is that whenever i view a video on firefox, be it videos, metacafe, and generally any site where you can see online videos, the video glitches a lot, and after a few seconds firefox grays out, and is not responsive, which means i either have to kill firefox.i am running firefox 3.5.7 with the ubuntu firefox modifications 0.8 pack added. in the preferences, on the content tab the enable java button is not ticked. the following is the list of plugins i have on firefox:
I have a new laptop where I had to install Ubuntu 10.04 (8.04 wouldn't boot). All Mozilla software that I use every day (Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird) has blurry fonts in 10.04, as opposed to 8.04 where all the fonts are clear. I remember that on 8.04, Thunderbird 2 has the same blurry fonts if I use the package from Mozilla's website, but the fonts are clean if I use the Thunderbird 2 from the repository. The fonts in the content rendering (mail, web pages) are also blurred in a similar fashion in 10.04. I attach here the menus from Firefox 4.0 beta 1 on 8.04 and 10.04. It can be seen on large zoom that the fonts are not only blurry, but slightly smaller in width.
Ever since installing 10.04 my fonts won't work. I've installed MS True Type every possible way I can and they still won't work.
After installing they seem fine in all applications, except on the internet. Both FF and Chrome can't seem to read (MSTT) fonts, at all. Every website I open fonts are displayed the same as before I install MS True Type.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 with unity. Occasionally I will have text in firefox that doesn't render properly. It will have horizontal lines through it. I have attached an example of the problem I am having.
I've seen a few people are having this issue, so i wanted to start a main thread. My problem started... After installing qt4-designer onto my Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome OS, the fonts in certain applications looked distorted like enlarged bitmaps. I tried uninstalling designer, reinstalling components, using qt4-config to restore fonts, but nothing has fixed this issue.
The issue seems to be specific to KDE applications such as: qt4-config, Amarok v2.2.0, skype, akonaditray, ktorrent, etc. Also, in qt4-config it seems to be specific to fonts between the sizes 9 to 12 inclusive for all font faces. All other font sizes seem to be okay. I've attached some examples.
When i first tried to install qt4-designer, it indicated the following dependancies: fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev When i try to remove fontconfig-config, it indicates that it is dependent on nearly every application in my system (including drivers and xscreen). Hence, I would need to uninstall everything and reinstall everything!?
For some time now it's not loading properly, just get a big blue screen with a title bar. This is using 10.04 64bit with Firefox 3.6.15.I think it's since I upgraded to 10.04.
So far, as a former Chrome user on Windows, I am enjoying Chromium. However, there is one glaring problem that is bugging me, and is disrupting my usage of the browser.
Chromium will not show Japanese fonts properly. It's not that everything shows up as boxes. The problem is that certain characters will show in Japanese, and certain will show in Korean, thereby making the Japanese text unreadable. Copying and pasting into gedit allows me to read the Japanese text, and Firefox never had this problem, however, within Chromium, this is unreadable.
Here is a picture to show you what I mean:
Has anyone else had this problem, and fixed it? I have installed the language packs and have tried setting things to different unicode fonts and changing the encoding to unicode and even Japanese, and continue to get these errors.
I'm fairly new to Linux and everything and still doesn't understand a lot of things about it. But as most of you may know that ..... is probably going to switch to HTML5 (so I heard) and I can not get Firefox to work with it. It is really annoying and I have flash player working but some videos require HTML5.
I uninstall unwittingly firefox from my ubuntu , i want to get it back . i download the package from mozilla site and i want to install it from the package i already download it , when i click on file named by firefox in that downloaded folder , i find that it open firefox as if i already installed it when i click to choose run in terminal
I just got Ubuntu installed and I cannot view video from any webpage. I have adobe downloaded and active, I even downloaded google chrome, I have all popupblockers turned off and still nothing.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04. Prior to this I had been using Ubuntu 9.10. In 10.04 I am just unable to connect to the net using Mozilla FireFox. But otherwise, Update Manager, Google Chromium are all connecting smoothly. Which implies that there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. So now that this is a Mozilla FireFox problem.
I would like to report an issue regarding Mozilla Firefox in ubuntu 10.10. Continuously, a slow performance is experienced whenever I am trying to browse through the web. It takes about 20 sec to load a page. This issue was always existed in my system even when I was using the previous version of Ubuntu, 10.04. Is there any solution about it?
first of all I need to know how to install Mozilla Firefox from the browser. It should be easy, but it has this weird tar.bz thing. Why can't Mozilla be normal? It is extremely hard to get the latest builds. I don't even know what I had to wrestle through to get to 4.0.1, which is what I am on now. Tell me the super easy way. Mozilla is awful. Also, how can I get the new beta and aurora channel switcher? I believe I can only get it if I update to a newer version which is what I am trying to do now. It says to go to about and then click "change" which is not there. So Linux really shouldn't be this complicated and frustrating.
I've been installing one too many programs from Synaptics and Software Center and then lo and behold Mozilla Firefox is nowhere to be seen in the taskbar...what gave?
I installed kubuntu10.4 on my laptop(dell vostro 1320) and changed keyboard layout to Persian but I still cannot write in my language.I used-to work by Debian OS , there wasn't such problem there.
So I install a font, don't like it, then uninstall it. Simple enough, but when I say a font, I mean the 465 free true type fonts by Brian Kent. For some reason I thought it had said 45 and thought that font options would be nice. Of course, hardly any of the fonts were worth using, so I uninstalled them. Yet, their names still show up in the list of fonts in all programs that use a font list. There are 465 names that don't have a font associated with them, and it's driving me nuts.
I am using centOS4-64 bit.When i play flash videos in browser,i don't get any sound however there is no problem when i use vlc for playing other stuffs. the required pluggins and their location.
I just downloaded the Mozilla Firefox Beta 4 package which if of the extension .tar.bz2. I currently have Mozill Firefox 3.6 installed on my laptop. Can anyone guide me how to install Mozilla Firefox Beta 4?
a few months ago, I installed Ubuntu Studio 10.4 x64 edition on my computer, and I was able to invert the colors in Firefox by pressing "Windows-Key + M".Since I updated to the latest Ubuntu Studio release, 11.x, via the upgrade function, this inverting of colors does not work any more. How can I do it now ? PS: I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 right now - maybe I was using Firefox 3.6 (I don't recall it exactly) under Ubuntu 10.4 and hence it's got something to do with the browser rather than the OS ?
I'm still having trouble with the computer freezing if I try to close Mozilla-Firefox with multiple tabs open. (and I often forget to close them individually)Is there a solution to this?
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...leases-firefoxYawn, didn't they just release FF5 a few days ago? Yes, I know when it was released, just being sarcastic!
This may (or may not) duplicate yester64's post but I'm trying to learn html and I've been going crazy with the <basefont /> tag. KompoZer, Opera, and Firefox all ignore it. However, any <font /> tag I use works with no problems What's really maddening is that I copied the file to the windows side and IE works wonderfully with the same file although Firefox still ignores it! I keep windows around for One and only one program - tomtom. I would cry at mozilla except that the same problem is occuring in those other non-mozilla programs.
