Is this antiX 19.2 base or full?
Have you changed you default language (locale) before installing? The ubuntu fonts should (I think) bring the correct fonts for most languages.

Is this language hindi or Tamil? Did you try installing Hindi_Default_Firefox_esr or Tamil_Default_Firefox_esr package in the package installer?

Give me a link to a page that is full in tamil (and you can see it is broken in antix) and I will try to figure it out running from a live system.

I understand that is your experience from your country, but I cannot rerpoduce it from mine. I need a website that will show tamil font rendering problems from any country.

Uninstall the firefox-esr-l10n-ta package for now and make sure you have your keyboard layout set correctly.

Once you can give me a different link that can be displayed the same way from any country I can test it out.

Hello Ashwinkumar,

Welcome to antiX Linux.

If I understand correctly what @Xecure said, you need to inform a website (URL or link) so that your problem can be reproduced.

But if you use English as the default and not the Tamil language, then why do you need to install the Tamil package?

Do you need to have both languages running on antiX?

I remember doing an antiX English installation once, for forgetting to change it at GRUB startup, by pressing the F2 Language key. It was more difficult to configure the keyboard and language to Portuguese than if I had done the installation again.

Olá Ashwinkumar,

Seja bem vindo ao antiX Linux.

Se eu entendi bem o que @Xecure disse, você precisa informar um site (URL ou link) para que possa ser reproduzido o seu problema.

Mas se você usa o idioma inglês como padrão e não o idioma tamil, então por que você precisa instalar pacote tamil?

Por acaso você precisa ter os dois idiomas em funcionamento no antiX?

Eu me lembro de ter feito uma vez uma instalação em idioma em inglês do antiX, por ter me esquecido de alterar na inicialização do GRUB, pressionando a tecla F2 Language. Foi mais difícil configurar o teclado e idioma para Português do que se eu tivesse feito a instalação novamente.

Lembre-se de marcar a opção “Notify me of follow-up replies via email”, assim você receberá uma mensagem no seu e-mail para te informar quando alguém respondeu no tópico que você iniciou ou que você esteja participando das conversas.

If you open synaptic and use the search button and look for tamil
there are some more fonts besides the ones installed with fonts-taml.
You can look for fonts-indic, too.

Thanks for providing a website. That is exactly what I needed to figure out the problem. You need the Noto Sans fonts for .

Run this in terminal:
sudo apt install fonts-noto-core

You dont’ even need to restart firefox. It should now display all missing letters and fonts.
If this happens with other languages, we may have to ask the antiX dev to include them in the next antiX release.
