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

[Shabbir Ahmed]

I support this statement,

What if you replace "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq"?
the answer is yes.

this font should display urdu text even if urdu package is not
installed. There is some default font thats why we can see/read urdu at
least.

Udu Nastaliq Unicode is not well supported, where as Nafees Nastaleeq is
made and supported by some well known institution of pakistan and is an
organization.

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)?
