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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hi Shabbir,

Sorry for having been quiet for a while.

Well, nothing has been changed in 13.04 yet, since we haven't yet found
a configuration that you or Abdellah has been able to confirm that it
gives the desired result.

So again I ask you to please
* install the fonts-nafees package from my PPA at
  https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc (if not already
  installed) to get NafeesNastaleeq.ttf, and
* make use of the 90-fonts-nafees.conf attachment in accordance
  with the instructions at the end of comment #31.

Abdellah did so a while ago, but his report in comment #32 is not enough
of a base for proceeding along those lines. Hence your test of the same
setup would be valuable.

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)?
