Yes, that's my understanding as well. > if yes, so the font mentioned here is just a > fallback. because there other Arabic script fonts at the top of it. Yes, a fallback or default. Ok, so you mean that if you have one of those other Arabic fonts installed that claims to be capable of rendering Urdu, that font will be used in any case. This may explain the lack of progress so far for you. > Please, let me know if I didn't understand you well. I think you did. This is indeed a learning process for me. As you may have noticed, I forwarded the proposal with respect to fontconfig to freedesktop.org, which is where the fontconfig package resides upstream. The first reaction, which you can see here in comment #25, is to not change the Urdu default upstream unless there is a consensus among Urdu speaking users. But Akiro also mentions the possibility to have own recipes to give a font a priority. By looking at other fontconfig files I created the attached file 90 -fonts-nafees.conf. As an experiment, can you please carry out these steps: * Save 90-fonts-nafees.conf in /etc/fonts/conf.avail * Change directory to /etc/fonts/conf.d * Create a symlink by typing this command: sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/90-fonts-nafees.conf 90-fonts-nafees.conf Please let us know if that makes a difference. ** Attachment added: "90-fonts-nafees.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+attachment/3597419/+files/90-fonts-nafees.conf -- 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.
