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
