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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153188 Title: Urdu with better support: Default Fonts, Kbd Layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fontconfig/+bug/1153188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
