You started the description in this bugreport with: "Default fonts in
Ubuntu show ugly Urdu text." When you now say "no changes", do you mean
that the Urdu text is still ugly?

Thanks for the work Gunnar, not sure we have anyone knowing enough about
the topic to state what is best there. In any case discussion is ongoing

* Replace "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq" in

What if you replace "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" with "Nafees Nastaleeq"?
the answer is yes.
this font should display urdu text even if urdu package is not

I don't know much about fonts either. ;-) Anyway, I did some research.
"Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" seems to be the name of a specific font:
http://tabish.freeshell.org/u-font/
Unless that font is interesting, we know at least that "Urdu Nastaliq
Unicode" should be replaced in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/6
The name of the file in the downloaded zip file is "Nafees Nastaleeq
v1.02.ttf". When preparing the package in my PPA I took the liberty of
renaming the file to "NafeesNastaleeq.ttf", which seemed to be
consistent with the names of other .ttf files.
The zip file also contains a "Release Notes" doc
I just tried to check the name in system, I have installed the new package
from the ppa.
I couldn't find a font with this name "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode", even using
gnome-font-view for each font in both packages Nafees & PakType. I was
thinking the its the name of the new included font NafeesNastali
Or do you mean that you would like to see two entries, like:
Urdu Nastaliq Unicode
Nafees Regular
thus making "Nafees Regular" a fallback alternative?

These days I'm researching different fonts and keyboard layouts and

The current defacto standard considered is "InPage"

fonts, like the version of nastaleeq that InPage makes is called "Noori

Actually another bug report had been submit (Bug #1153549 ) to add other
