[Bug 1153188] Re: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout
I support this statement, What if you replace Urdu Nastaliq Unicode with Nafees Nastaleeq? the answer is yes. this font should display urdu text even if urdu package is not installed. There is some default font thats why we can see/read urdu at least. Udu Nastaliq Unicode is not well supported, where as Nafees Nastaleeq is made and supported by some well known institution of pakistan and is an organization. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1153188] Re: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout
These days I'm researching different fonts and keyboard layouts and talking to URDU experts, The current defacto standard considered is InPage http://www.inpage.com/Download.html. They make their own versions of fonts, like the version of nastaleeq that InPage makes is called Noori Nastaleeq. The best of all public implementations so far i found is Nafees Nastaleeq I mentioned in my above reply. it has an issue in that the text clarity in different font sizes is not same(distorted text like if you type something in large size on a low resolution display), in few sizes the text displays is not that best clear like it does if you copy from Inpage to an image format and view them in a browser. the best till i found is Nafees Nastaleeq, which is at least supported. there are many other versions of Nastaleeq available but not well supported. the other good fonts available are Nafees Web etc. Thanks, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The official Font for urdu is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasta%CA%BFl%C4%ABq_script Nasta Liq, all the news papers universities text books school college materials all are printed in this font. here is the officially made font and checked by a famous calligrapher, http://www.crulp.org/software/localization/Fonts/nafeesNastaleeq.html The font could be downloaded from the same place, If you want i can personally go and meet them make a report and update you. Gunnar, About the keyboard lay out there are many and we are talking about the default, as to type in english you simply click into a text area and start typing, where as in urdu you have to do some effort which a common computer user is not aware of, so i think we have to simplify things for him, if he clicks into a place to type in urdu he simply selects the urdu and start typing the easiest way or the more easy he can achieve his task. This would be the http://www.crulp.org/software/localization/keyboards/CRULPphonetickbv1.1.html which already is in ubuntu named Urdu (Pakistan, CRULP), Urdu (Pakistan, CRULP) is phonetic keyboard layout and all the ppl who use special software to write urdu and then convert it into image format (most in-page is used) and the keyboard layout is called phonetic. kindly sujjest further. thank you, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
