So far we have been working with Nafees Nastaleeq. Switching to e.g. Jameel Noori Nastaleeq would require the creation of a new package in Debian and Ubuntu, and there is not enough time left for that before the release of Ubuntu 14.04. However, the attributes 'mode="prepend"' and 'binding="strong"' may well be it as regards making fontconfig pick Nafees Nastaleeq at first hand. Thanks a lot for the tip! I have prepared a package which includes a modified XML file plus the NafeesNastaleeq.ttf file. The package (fonts-nafees) is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc I ask you all to please download and install the fonts-nafees package in the PPA, and let us know if it gives the desired result. If you do this quickly, there is a good chance that Ubuntu 14.04 can be shipped with a decent default font setup for Urdu. :) My own test was successful: $ LANG=ur_PK fc-match 'sans-serif' NafeesNastaleeq.ttf: "Nafees" "Regular" ** Changed in: fonts-nafees (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-nafees in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library: Confirmed Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Debian: New Bug description: To the release team: This FFe is about adding the font NafeesNastaleeq.ttf to the package. Before seeking sponsorship, the Urdu users need to confirm that the proposed patch actually improves the rendering as intended. The change affects Urdu users only, so no regression risk for other users. ---------------------------------- 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)?
