I'm running Kubuntu21.10 and have a persistent problem in controlling font sizes. Typically the text I want to display is part of a webpage, displayed in Firefox. I know of two of the places where the font size is set: the Fonts section of System Settings and the Fonts section of the General settings in Firefox. But I don't understand how these interact or when font changes actually take effect, so th ...

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 Mate desktop. I noticed that in mate-appearance-properties' fonts tab desktop font is greyed out and inactive, I can't select a font. I also created another user, it's the same in that login. I also ran it with sudo, nothing is changed.

I installed xfonts-100dpi on Ubuntu 20.04 using

apt install xfonts-100dpi

They show up in /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi. All the files are in a *.pcf.gz format.

When I run fc-list they are not listed. If I run fc-cache -fv | grep 100dpi I get the following,

/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi: caching, new cache contents: 358 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi: skipping, looped directory detected

Using Google Input tools (the web-version as well as in Gmail) and in a Unicode converter online tool I am trying to get a word જયેન્દ્ર but somehow, except at one place in Firefox browser (please see under Unicode Character box in attached screenshot mozilla_3.png), it is rendering incorrectly. I verified this on Firefox and Google Chrome browsers I have on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04. I just got a new 4k monitor which I am now using together with the previous 1080 one.

The 4k display is unreadable at 100% scaling, so at first, I turned on fractional scaling to 150% on the 4k display (leaving the 1080 at 100%). This worked great, except that everything was noticeably slower. Googling suggested that this is a common issue with Xorg and there is nothing t ...

Ubuntu: Print out fonts? Answer seems available nowhere... I'm certain I'm not the first to ask this question?

I have got a font file (.otb) format that only contains the respective font for size 16pt. Is there a way how I can scale this down, i.e. get the scaled versions of the font for smaller font sizes?

I am looking for a comprehensive catalog of all the fonts available for installation via Ubuntu packages, if possible with rendering sample. Does it exist somewhere ?

Th reason I am asking is that listing the package names is of little help since there is not a one package - one font logic. Sometimes it's one font family, sometimes it's a random collection.

In addition, the package description often ...

Font display problem on ubuntu 20.04. When you scroll with the mouse wheel in Google Chrome, the font is layered on top of each other, as if the lines do not have time to go up. But in Windows, for example, everything is fine or in documents opened outside the browser. (Monitor Dell P2419HC, connection by HDMI cable, note ASUS FX505D, video adapter geforce 1050)

Although gnome-logs is a practically useless application; from time to time, I try to use it.

However, the font size and especially the line height used to display the log contents is huge. Is there a way to change this only for gnome-logs and not system-wide (using gnome-tweaks for example)?

Note: This answer does not seem to work.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with KDE installed on top.

Problem: When using a dark theme, text file thumbnails in dolphin use a light color for the text, but do not change the background, leading to white-on-white text, which is all but invisible. (The same problem was present under Kubuntu; I suspect it's common to all KDE Plasma sessions.)

My previous solution was to mess around with the color scheme until I foun ...

I change the scaling factor often when I switch between laptop (1.4 to be able to see everything better) and laptop with second screen (back to 1.0)

Fonts are being rendered properly on browsers. The actual problem is Libreoffice Calc where devanagari fonts aren't being rendered properly:

Here you can see even if the cell properly converts the "Halant", the formula bar doesn't. The only workaround for now is to set default interface font in tweaks to other unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS. But I don't want Arial as my system font. Is there any  ...

I have a folder of SVG icons which I want to compile into a font. Each icon should be assigned to a unicode character of my choice (eg. U+F000). Traditional font editors like Birdfont are really not what I want here, because they require the user to manually edit every single character.

Optimally I would like to have a tool where I can just add a character to my font from the command line like mag ...

I accidentally changed fonts.config, which shouldn't be changed. After the change all system font is turned into boxes or missing. But chrome works fine (websites). I tried sudo fc-cache -r -v and reboot but no changes. Is there any way to fix that? To Restore font.config?

Pretty new on Ubuntu, I've got an issue with the Apps windows fonts. The quality in some of the fonts is bad in some apps like in Ubuntu Software and I don't know what I make as a mistake. I reset the Gnome config with Tweaks but nothing change. See the screenshot: Screenshot Apps font issues.

Thanks for any help.

I wanted to play wine games that only worked in Wayland so I started a new session and when I set the resolution to 125% I ended up with some completely disgusting text fonts that didn't look like nothing at all if you will allow me.
