We would like to see Noto serif sinhala as the default font for sinhala language LKLUG (last active: 2012) no one maintain it now. We can change it manually but such changes do not apply to some applications or application types e.g. we cannot recognize vowel signs and read websites using that font. Please note Robie Basak's warning about the changed font metrics in comment #7, though.Ĭurrently ubuntu comes with LKLUG font for sinhala (si). But that surprise ought to make them happy. Some Sinhala speaking users with fonts-noto-core installed will indeed see a surprise change when it starts to render Sinhala via Noto fonts instead of LKLUG. (Also I (Gunnar), who don't speak Sinhala, * Confirm that Noto Sans Sinhala is listed before LKLUG. * Open a terminal window and run this command: * Open Language Support and install the Sinhala language. * Install language- selector- from -proposed. Instead of changing that, the proposed change makes fontconfig give Noto Sans Sinhala respective Noto Serif Sinhala higher precedence than LKLUG, and that - together with installation of fonts-noto-core - seems to be sufficient to achieve the desired result.
Noto offers Sinhala fonts with significantly higher quality.įonts-lklug-sinhala is pulled by quite a few meta packages. The current default font for Sinhala (LKLUG) is unmaintained and comes with issues.
