Mostly true, but there are some issues. People in the windows world have seen lot of beautiful fonts through proprietary software like Anu Fonts etc. and the number of fonts in the Ubuntu are limited. People type in Telugu using Baraha on Windows and there is no phonetic keyboard layout for Telugu in Ubuntu.
