[Bug 1153188] Re: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout

[عبدالله شلي (Abdellah Chelli)]

I just tried to check the name in system, I have installed the new package
from the ppa.

I couldn't find a font with this name "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode", even using
gnome-font-view for each font in both packages Nafees & PakType. I was
thinking the its the name of the new included font NafeesNastaliq.

Actually we were looking for NafeesNastaleeq.ttf , if fallback option
available: NafeesWeb.ttf (Nafees Regular) will be good. (Please, Shabbir
let us know if you would other way.)

I am not familiar with fonts, but the new included font,
NafeesNastaleeq.ttf file, does not have a name. As it seems in
gnome-font-viewer. I couldn't find in the font list. Is it a problem in
this font?

Bug description:
  Default fonts in Ubuntu show ugly Urdu text.

  It's better that language-selector sets "Nafees Regular" (Nafees Web
  in fonts-nafees package) as default font for all font families
  (SansSerif, Serif...except mono) used in Ubuntu.

  I would like to ask, if language-selector is able to set specific
  keyboard layout for Urdu for 1st time?

  Please Shabbir:
  Could you write here the best setting for Urdu Fonts (Using "Tweak Tool": Scale Factor, Hinting, Anitaliasing, Size)?
