[Bug 1896397] Re: [UIFe] Tweak Arabic font

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Problem:

$ LC_CTYPE=ar_EG.UTF-8 fc-match -a monospace | head -8
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"
NotoSans-Bold.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Bold"
NotoSans-Italic.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Italic"
NotoSans-BoldItalic.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Bold Italic"
NotoNaskhArabicUI-Regular.ttf: "Noto Naskh Arabic UI" "Regular"
NotoNaskhArabicUI-Bold.ttf: "Noto Naskh Arabic UI" "Bold"
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Bold"

Looks like DejaVu must be specified explicitly for monospace.

  [UIFe] Tweak Arabic font

Bug description:
  This is a follow-up of bug #1891733. After the new default font for
  Arabic had made it to focal, we got some additional feedback at
  <https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/14573>. There seems to be a consensus
  to make these adjustments:

  * Replace "Noto Sans Arabic UI" with "Noto Naskh Arabic UI" as
    default Arabic font for sans-serif

  * Drop the specification for monospace, and with that fall back
    to DejaVu for Arabic monospace
