Hi Gunnar,
I did a fresh install of 14.04-beta2 and your package. Everything works
as expected. I am attaching pdf on ur.wikipedia.org as displayed in
firefox.
Best regards,
Imran
P.S. The configuration will not be used by Chrome as it does not pass language
info to fontconfig, a known behavior
Here is the actual screenshot. In my previous comment I attached the pdf

Thanks a lot for testing and confirming that it works! Then 14.04 will
likely be shipped with a decent default font configuration for Urdu. :)

Well, Urdu Nastaliq Unicode seems added by Mandriva guy at
c26344ecfc1d3b85671f5d948a10d5cc27c21c2f. you may need to talk to him
about this change perhaps.
FWIW this is correct metadata for Urdu Nastaliq Unicode:
Pattern has 19 elts (size 32)
family: Urdu Nastaliq Unicode(s)

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,
for keyboard layout the best option to compare things with is google
urdu translitration, it is the most easiest keyboard layout.

renaming the file to NafeesNastaleeq.ttf, which seemed to be
