I can explain every thing here in detail,

we have two issues here,

1. Reading Urdu Text:

the default font for Urdu is SanSerif and others font only made on
emphasis on english language that's why the text displayed is not easily
readable, we cant change the text as we don't have a font already
installed for URDU. This is the main reason all the news papers and
every other thing published or posted on internet are in image format.
The result is image takes longer to download, mobile view is not good, u
cant zoom in as at a point the text with go rubish. you cant search any
thing inside an image (text). google is not helpfull in case you want to
search for something that is ur requirement. The only current way that i
use with my web site is CSS3 font download.


2. Writing Urdu: the default keyboard layout is not wat it has to be. we need 
to download and install third party keyboard layouts that is called "phonetic 
keyboard layout". Most of the characters in english and urdu are same like the 
char 'S' and 'seen' in urdu and arabic. now it makes sense that S should type 
'SEEN' but it doesnt, rather it prints un realistic characters. the best option 
google has created for this is google translitration which works same as 
phonetic keyboard.

I am available if more explaination or help is required.

thanks for listening to our problems.

Title:
  Urdu with better support:  Default Fonts, Kbd Layout

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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)?
