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

[عبدالله شلي (Abdellah Chelli)]

(Just for note, i'm an Arabic user, Urdu other additional letters and
share same Unicode range)

I don't if I missed some thing. I installed the Urdu language support and switch to. Making changes mentioned on #18
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf

I tried (each time I reboot it)

- replacing "Urdu  Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq"

tired with  "Nafees Regular" and "Nafees", no changes

- same tests but by removing fonts lines for other arabic  : arabic fa, arabic ar .. keeping only arabic ur
no changes too

I have attached a screenshot.

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

Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
  Confirmed
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)?
