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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Abdellah / Shabbir,

I have talked with Sebastien Bacher on IRC, and we consider that the
proposed changes (see comment #18) are uploaded to Ubuntu 13.04.

However, since the changes affect all Urdu speaking users, can you
please provide some kind of testcase that shows how the rendering of
Urdu text is improved through the changes. I'm not sure how this is best
done; maybe in the form of screenshots before/after.

It would be great if you could provide something that makes us more
confident that the proposed changes is a step in the right direction.

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)?
