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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The name of the file in the downloaded zip file is "Nafees Nastaleeq
v1.02.ttf". When preparing the package in my PPA I took the liberty of
renaming the file to "NafeesNastaleeq.ttf", which seemed to be
consistent with the names of other .ttf files.

The zip file also contains a "Release Notes" document, and in the change
log I read:

<quote>Version number is removed from font name. The new name is “Nafees
Nastaleeq”</quote>

I suppose that you can edit /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf manually
and study the result instantly. What if you replace "Urdu Nastaliq
Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq"?

Title:
  Urdu with better support:  Default Fonts, Kbd Layout

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Debian:
  New

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)?
