Urdu language digitization

[Sneetsher]

Hi,

I have just read its license which allow modification, merging &
distribution under same license with one exception concerning naming.

Is it same font which is already packaged: fonts-nafees made by same center
on Ubuntu?
Does these fonts work well: fonts-nafees & fonts-paktype, both packaged for
Ubuntu?

I have no experience about kbd layouts.

Regards,
Abdellah Ch.
