Abdellah, Thanks for your report.
You started the description in this bugreport with: "Default fonts in Ubuntu show ugly Urdu text." When you now say "no changes", do you mean that the Urdu text is still ugly? Also, let me try to summarize my understanding of this: Before the changes ------------------ * When you install Urdu language support, you only get the "Nafees Web Naskh" font. Neither "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" nor "Nafees Nastaleeq" is available on the disk. (They aren't available in the Ubuntu archive either, but only externally.) * The fontconfig file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf says "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode", which means that the font it states as the default is not available. After the changes ----------------- * When you install Urdu language support, you get both "Nafees Web Naskh" and "Nafees Nastaleeq". * The fontconfig file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf says "Nafees Nastaleeq", so unlike before the font it states as the default is available. Can you confirm that those descriptions of "before" respective "after" match the tests you made? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 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)?
