Title:
  Missing many Glyphs to support Uyghur (Uighur) Language

Status in “ttf-kacst-one” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ttf-kacst-one

  Dear Ubuntu Package Maintainer,

  Currently, there is NO single font on Ubuntu which supports Uyghur
  (Uighur) language. Uyghur (Uighur) uses modified Arabic-Persian
  script. All of the fonts on Ubuntu which support Arabic stil lack many
  additional codepoints and glyphs to support Uyghur properly.

  I, as one of the Uyghurs who uses Ubuntu and promote it among us, contacted the KacstOne font maintainer and asked him to add the extraa codepoints and glyphs needed for Uyghur. And the maintainer gladly added the missing glyphs and updated the font. The current updated version is 4.0 and its sourse is at:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/arabeyes/files/kacst_fonts/kacst_one_4.0.tar.bz2

  Ubuntu Natty (11.04) is still using the package of version 3.0. Please
  update this package to 4.0 shown above so that the Uyghur Ubuntu users
  can handle their script on Natty (11.04). Thank you very much.
