Soon before the April Ubuntu release we figured out a way that seems to have made the Urdu users happy. We patched fonts-nafees 1.2-5 by adding NafeesNastaleeq.ttf together with a recipe which I attach to this message. We did not address the version number issue (not enough time).
The complete diff is available at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/172050192/fonts-nafees_1.2-5_1.2-5ubuntu1.diff.gz It would of course be desirable if we could get Ubuntu and Debian back in sync. Creating a separate fonts-nafees-nastaleeq package would be fine for us, but that recipe (or something else with the same effect) seems to be necessary as well. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj
Description: Make Nafees Nastaleeq the preferred font for Urdu Bug-Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/703456 That bug is not really a forward of this patch. So far it's rather a discussion with Debian about adding the related .ttf file to begin with. The plan is to sort things out with upstream after the 14.04 release.
