Broken link for AlMohannad font

[Daniel Blaukopf]

Binary package hint: ttf-arabeyes

The link in

/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType

is spelled differently from the actual file in

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes

and so is a broken link and the font cannot be found. To reproduce, run xfontsel and select

-arabeyes-kasr-medium-*-*-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*

Observe that xfontsel does not redraw its font preview window - it can't find the font.

The spelling with two 'n's appears to be correct.

Other font names are also spelled differently in /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType and in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes, causing the same problem:

This includes the following:

ae_AlYermok / ae_AlYermook
ae_Mash_bold / ae_Mashq_bold
ae_Negham / ae_Nagham

[Sergey Romanov (sml-uni)]

The version 2.0-1 of package 'ttf-arabeyes' still has this problem for two of its fonts: ae_AlYarmook and ae_Sindbad.
These fonts' names and paths are incorrectly spelled in /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-arabeyes.hints, which results in broken links in /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType:

AlYermok should be AlYarmook
Sindibad should be Sindbad
