I tried it without the "ttf" and received this: +++ $ apt-cache search urdu font fonts-nafees - nafees free OpenType Urdu fonts fonts-paktype - PakType free OpenType Urdu fonts +++ Searching on "hindi" by itself brought up a very short list of packages total. Was an interesting quick read. Searching "hindi font" landed these: +++ fonts-deva-extra - Free fonts for Devanagari script fonts-gargi - OpenType Devanagari font fonts-lohit-deva - Lohit TrueType font for Devanagari script fonts-nakula - Free Unicode compliant Devanagari font fonts-sahadeva - Free Unicode compliant Devanagari font fonts-samyak-deva - Samyak TrueType font for Devanagari script fonts-sarai - truetype font for devanagari script emacs-intl-fonts - fonts to allow multilingual PostScript printing from Emacs task-hindi - Hindi environment +++ Oops because "hindi ttf" and "urdu ttf" landed nothing here, either, yet there's the word "TrueType" a few times for "hindi". An aside to those who write those descriptions: Don't forget to use **ALL** your special keywords! It's times like this when they matter. :D PS "urdu truetype" still landed no package results.
