Urdu fonts not rendering properly in Chrome
Chrome in Ubuntu is not rendering Urdu fonts properly. It is showing gibberish characters I'm not able to read. The problem is especially bad on Facebook.
I copied some Urdu fonts under ~/.fonts and under /usr/share/fonts/ and updated the cache and then restarted Chrome but even that didn't work.
This is how it is appearing on my system
I have installed MSCore fonts and many other fonts but it's still not working.

and refresh your browser. This works fine for me.

- Go to the extension's option.
- Paste this 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,nafees,sans-serif
- Click save, then close the window, and refresh the facebook page. it should work.

I installed fonts-noto
$ sudo apt-get -y install fonts-noto
Restarted Chrome, and then changed the Standard Font in Chrome to Noto Naskh Arabic UI. Urdu fonts appear much better and clear now.
