[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1153188] Re: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts
ping :) I really would like that some Urdu speaking user confirms that the proposed change to the fonts-nafees package makes a difference, before I ask someone to upload it to the Ubuntu archive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-nafees in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library: Confirmed Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Debian: New Bug description: To the release team: This FFe is about adding the font NafeesNastaleeq.ttf to the package.

Gunnar, Ack for the FFe. Please do what you decide is best and also coordinate the change in Debian if you can (maybe you want to ask to join the fonts team?)

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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-nafees in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library: Confirmed Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “fonts-nafees” package in Debian: New Bug description: To the release team: This FFe is about adding the font NafeesNastaleeq.ttf to the package.
