Re: Linux Help

To read bangla newspaper in linux u have to install some bangla fonts.
there are some good old tgz packages. Remember that you should have root privilege when you execute the commands mentioned here.

Download the files you want to install from here

Once you have downloaded all the packages you want, extract all the *.ttf file(s). Basically run the following command on each *.tgz or *.tar.gz you have downloaded.

bash$tar -zxvf your_font_package.tar.gz

This will create a new directory that will contain different files that comes with the font package. We are only interested about the *.ttf files.

Create a new directory where you want to install these fonts. Forthe rest of this document, we will assume we are installing the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali/

Copy the *.ttf files we just extracted in to this directory, and execute the following commands:

bash$cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali

bash$ttmkfdir

bash$mkfontdir

bash$chkfontpath -q -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali

Now you will add the new directory to fontconfig configuration. Usually this configuration file is /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Open this file with you choice of text editor and look for the part that looks somewhat like shown below

Code:
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
  <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
  <dir>~/.fonts</dir>


Add the line
Code:
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali</dir>
so that now it looks something like this:

Code:
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
  <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali</dir>
  <dir>~/.fonts</dir>


After you have saved the file, execute the following command:

bash$fc-cache

If you have GNOME print library (libgnomeprint) installed, then execute the following commands:

bash$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/bengali

bash$libgnomeprint-2.0-font-install --dynamic

Those whole process before worked for me. So u can try that.
