I noticed that some Indian languages (eg : Kannada) are not supported in Ubuntu 16.04.  See this screenshot:    Even with file names :    This was not happening in earlier Ubuntu editions. How can I enable kannada in Ubuntu 16.04?

There were a set of extra steps I needed to take with Ubuntu 14.04 that got Japanese text input working, but the same steps seem to not apply to 16.04.  The system toggles between "En" and "Ja", but all it's doing (functionally) is switching from an English keyboard layout to a Japanese keyboard layout.  I installed in English with my location in Japan, which triggered Japanese language support (which isn't working).  I also tried a clean install in Japanese that installed all menus, etc. in Japanese, but also had non-functional Japanese input, so I did a third install in English again - with Japan as the local - which is where I stand now with it.  Any help with this issue greatly appreciated, as I need to be able to input Japanese text.

The names of my folders and the menus are not displayed correctly (even the tabs names in firefox). A lot of letters are missing. When cross over with the mouse pointer, part of them are correctly displayed. Contrary, the content of askubuntu site, for example, is displayed correct. It does not always happens, usually a restart solve the problems for a while. I have Ubuntu 14.04. I don't know how to tag this question, so I'll mark it as display related, even though is not really this.

If I scroll from an answer back to the question the questions text isn't visible any more:    After scrolling it again the text appears partially:    Sometimes the answer will appear with a very small font:    Source code doesn't appear in full width neither:    and when I scroll, the grey background covers the source code completely:    This makes the app totally unusable.

In the  I see:    Is that what the help is supposed to say and look like? Because it doesn't make sense to me.  As animuson points out in a comment, all of the highlighted example text is being shifted to the very left of each line. The entire page is broken.

I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and I'm seeing a strange behaviour. All windows I open have a black, boxy border, including popups, as you can see in the provided image. (The black box in the bottom right is a terminal, which fails to display any text. However, I can enter commands and they execute.) I followed the steps in this post:  to reset Unity using the unity-tweak-tool. Although helpful, that did not fix the issue. I'm thinking this may be a graphics card driver issue.  Any help is much appreciated.

When I do a search in the software center this is what the results look like.    I can only see the text if I select one of them.  I tried changing themes but that didn't fix it.

I was attempting to create a bounty for a question over on Stack Overflow and ran into a rendering glitch on the last page. After entering a sentence that exceeds the length of a single line, the popup contents scroll slightly to the right and strange characters start showing up:    There is no '(' in my sentence so it's strange that it's showing up in the textarea. When you move the cursor it around the line edge, the textarea scrolls from right to left and back.  Here's what I've got:   Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit Firefox 18.0.2   This is also occurring on Firefox 24.0 on Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1.    The data entry starts out fine:    Then it goes all wacky as I complete the second line:

Blender has issues when dealing with non-English characters.   I can't enter Russian text in 3D objects. Blender displays folder and file names incorrectly if they are in Russian.   Is there a solution to these text-encoding problems?  UPDATE    Demonstration of only Bfont available:

Of late, I've noticed that many web sites seem to be using light grey text for many sections of their sites. Some such sections include - the text (link, usually) that shows in the status bar at the bottom of the browser when you hover the mouse over a link on their page, the indicator text in form fields to be filled in (e.g. the word "email" in the email address field), and many other elements on the page.  That light grey makes it much less readable.    Not sure whether is a new trend, or something to do with my browser settings (I haven't changed them lately, AFAIK), or Google Chrome, which is my browser. This is on Windows 7 running on a Dell Vostro laptop. I added the info about the laptop because I suspect the problem may even be due to my hardware settings, since I found the default brightness to be too high after I bought it, and changed it via Control Panel.  Would like to know what are some of the things I can check or change to solve this.  Thanks.

I've upgraded from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04 today. I'm from Bangladesh, and Bengali is my native language. There was an option to set keyboard layout to Bengali in all previous Ubuntu versions I've used. But there's no such option in 17.04, strangely. I can use Bengali by installing the package ibus-m17n,  so I thought maybe there was some problem during my upgrade. But then I checked my friend's PC which runs ubuntu 16.10 and found that ibus-m17n was not installed in 16.10 but there's option for Bengali keyboard layout. So is Bengali keyboard support really removed from 17.04, or was there a problem during my upgrade?

I am a novice Linux user. Today, I turned on my system and found out that whenever I open any system apps (like Setting, Files, even the Terminal), a bunch of text was missing from there, and it was showing only the first four letters of every word in the app (Screenshot attached to further visualize the issue)  Please, help me to fix the issue. Thank you all

I was wondering what fonts are used in Ubuntu 11.10 and are they open source? The fonts used in Ubuntu have very cute Armenian character support, that's why I would like to know them, so I can install them on my Symbian smartphone whose fonts do not have Armenian character supprt.  EDIT: I would love to get additional information. In Firefox web browser the Armenian characters are displayed properly, and I would to know exactly which one of the fonts is the one used in Firefox as there are a lot of fonts in the downloaded archive. –
