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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
