Debian: International Fonts
Ubuntu comes with a large swath of international fonts installed by default, but Debian requires a little more attention. Although I can’t read the languages, I can recognize which script is which. Besides, boxes are just ugly.
- East Asian:
apt-get install ttf-arphic-uming ttf-wqy-zenhei ttf-sazanami-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-unfonts-core
(source) - Indic:
apt-get install ttf-indic-fonts
(source) - All together:
apt-get install ttf-arphic-uming ttf-wqy-zenhei ttf-sazanami-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic fonts-unfonts-core ttf-indic-fonts
These are merely the ones that I missed the most. I may update this post in the future.
I was looking at the package description and noticed this for
ttf-sazanami-mincho
andttf-sazanami-gothic
:That results in:
sudo apt-get install ttf-arphic-uming ttf-wqy-zenhei fonts-ipafont-mincho fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-unfonts-core
I should probably update both this post and Wikipedia.
