Well, I made the Arabic in DejaVu, but over time I wasn't really too
happy with the glyphs, so I stopped work on it, and had the plan to redo
them one day. But a busy life postpones these plans again and again, so
that's why these glyphs aren't made yet.

Hello, Ben,

Thanks for your reply. DejaVu Sans is the default GUI font on Ubuntu in
Uyghur language, we were able to complete more than 95% translation
string into Uyghur. (That is more than 200,000 sentences!) We really
hoped to use Ubuntu in our language, unfortunately, the GUI font's lack
of support Uyghur language gives us a problem and challenge.

Last year, one DejaVu font developer, MichaelJP, added the above 4
glyphs and their presentation forms to the font. Unfortunately, it seems
that he can not commit it. I still have the copy and diff file.

If you do not have enough time to develop any glyphs, can you just
simply add the already made glypths to the font and commit it? We really
hope to solve this problem before Ubuntu 12.04 is released next month.

Thank you again.
