Yes, exactly (seems like example: menu and that BBC file at bottom in my previous attachment, it is a mono-space font) > Also, let me try to summarize my understanding of this: > > Before the changes > ------------------ > * When you install Urdu language support, you only get the "Nafees Web > Naskh" font.

Yes I wasn't knowing which package should take care of this. Also I was thinking about replacing "Ubuntu" font like "Gnome Tweak Tool" do. Where here it with fontconfig it seems to me like 'font priority list', is it so? if yes, so the font mentioned here is just a fallback. because there other Arabic script fonts at the top of it. > After the changes > ----------------- > * When you install Urdu language support, you get both "Nafees Web > Naskh" and "Nafees Nastaleeq". yes > * The fontconfig file /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf says > "Nafees Nastaleeq", so unlike before the font it states as the > default is available. To me, No, because the desktop or system still using that ugly font and not Nastaleeq. That's why it seems to me like fallback font. > Can you confirm that those descriptions of "before" respective "after" > match the tests you made? > Please, let me know if I didn't understand you well. -- 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. It's better that language-selector sets "Nafees Regular" (Nafees Web in fonts-nafees package) as default font for all font families (SansSerif, Serif...except mono) used in Ubuntu. I would like to ask, if language-selector is able to set specific keyboard layout for Urdu for 1st time? Please Shabbir: Could you write here the best setting for Urdu Fonts (Using "Tweak Tool": Scale Factor, Hinting, Anitaliasing, Size)?
