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

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for the work Gunnar, not sure we have anyone knowing enough about
the topic to state what is best there. In any case discussion is ongoing
in Debian and it seems too late in the cycle for changing the default,
we should do that at the start of a cycle to have time to get feedback
and discuss the change.

I'm unsubscribing sponsors, let's rediscuss the fontconfig change after
the raring release rather

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)?
