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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Ok, this is what I have proposed so far as a result of our conversation:

* Add NafeesNastaleeq.ttf to the fonts-nafees package

* Replace "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq" in
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf

** Patch added: "fontconfig_lp-1153188.diff"

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

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
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)?
