[Bug 1153188] Re: [FFe] Urdu with better support: Default Fonts

2014-04-07 Thread Imran Rauf
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 of Chrome.

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. :)

Hi Mamoor

You can right away install Ubuntu using a usb, procedure and tool to make a
boot able USB Ubuntu installer is available at
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows,
Ubuntu installer will automatically recognize existing OS such as Win 7 or
8, after installation it will ask on start up which OS you want to use.

@mamoor  @others I have a lenovo Z500 and you may have a problem with any

boot which refuse any install even on VM's. Only way to bypass that is to
turn it off in the BIOS. Of Course if your pc doesn't have it then ignore

It would be great if you could test the version of the fonts-nafees

when you for instance browse an Urdu web page.

As far as I know, Jameel Noori Nastaleeq is not packaged for Ubuntu, so

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
