Thanks for your question, but we'd like to know where you choose Persian keyboard. From our Control Center?
By the way, please send us the URL of the website  and we'd like to do a test to find which font is lost.

I chose Persian from deepin control center keyboard section.
by the way it's not about one special website. it's about all Persian  website and even you can not type Persian on browser or anything else.

Thanks your information. Please wait a moment.
We are not familiar with your language, and the Deepin i18n work is just begin.
so I ask your the URL for testing when we fix it.   We will try fix this at "Deepin 2014.1".
And I wish you can help Deepin for the i18n work  in the future.

Could you tell us which fonts should be installed to support your language?
Are there some other essential packages except fonts and keyboard layout need be installed?

actually I don't know what you exactly need in order to fix this problem but I've been using Deepin for about 2 years know and I haven't had such a problem like this.
any way I'll search about this problem in Persian community of Gnu/Linux and I'll inform you how you can fix it.
Incidentally I guess these  two packages are good and can fix this problem but I'm not sure at all.

The website problem seems only appear in google-chrome, We test firefox and opera worked correctly(in our understanding).   We will try fix this latter.

I don't understand exactly the layout problem, but it can show Persian language when I type "linuxdeepin" after choose the Persian (with Persian Keypad).


The layout config should be ok, if it's not correctly please help us fix it. You can use other Distro and use setxkbmap -query to get the current xkb configure information.

The screenshot use win+space switch layout between your current layouts, but it seems has serious bug caused the switch must be use mouse click to completed  in the final version.

There has an know bug in layout caused by fcitx (a Chinese input methd). It will force append a "cn" layout before your current layout when the "XKB addon enabled. The addon has been disabled by default, if you enabled this try disable it by modify ~/.config/fcitx/addon/fcitx-xkb.conf (changed will be effective after restart fcitx)
If you have installed fcitx, Could you speak Chinese?

Hi there!
I have the same exact squares-in-chrome-instead-of-letters issue with Hebrew keyboard. It's actually one of the main reason I'm refrained from switching over to deepin'

I have test the "squares" problem and found it's caused by our font configuretion.

If you don't need better Chinese font rendering, can simply workaround it by run:
  1. sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-ttf-font-deepin.conf; fc-cache -r
Copy the Code

I will dig the font-config as soon as possible, and fix it.

And.... after another update, it went crazy again. Hebrew in Chrome looks like chinese... :-(

update
No. Back to normal. I have no idea what caused it to freak like that. I can't seem to find a way to delete the reply so just ignore it
