Re: Nepali Users Here

Hi, i'm not from Nepal at all, just a Devanagari freak currently, with momentary interest in Nepalese variants of ५, ८ and ९.[1]

Re: Nepali Users Here

Hello guys, I am Nepali Arch user too. I installed lohit and indic, but Nepali font still looks shit in my urxvt. I am using Noto sans Devanagari font for Nepali.

No, that is not fine at all. The 'मा' seems like 'म' and 'ा' are separate. The 'ि' isn't attached to 'प' and it should be shown as 'पि', which is not the case in your pic as well as my urxvt. It works fine in firefox though. Its just that it doesn't render properly in urxvt. Anyway, thanks for replying.

Re: Nepali Users Here

Urxvt is known to have problems rendering complex scripts. From the man page:

...Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult, especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules, like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these scripts...

To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.
