Bug Description
Binary package hint: ttf-kacst-one
Dear Ubuntu Package Maintainer,
Currently, there is NO single font on Ubuntu which supports Uyghur (Uighur) language. Uyghur (Uighur) uses modified Arabic-Persian script. All of the fonts on Ubuntu which support Arabic stil lack many additional codepoints and glyphs to support Uyghur properly.
I, as one of the Uyghurs who uses Ubuntu and promote it among us, contacted the KacstOne font maintainer and asked him to add the extraa codepoints and glyphs needed for Uyghur. And the maintainer gladly added the missing glyphs and updated the font. The current updated version is 4.0 and its sourse is at:

Ubuntu Natty (11.04) is still using the package of version 3.0. Please update this package to 4.0 shown above so that the Uyghur Ubuntu users can handle their script on Natty (11.04). Thank you very much.

I'm inclined to approve this for post-Beta2 upload, but I'd like confirmation from someone using Uyghur that this works correctly.
Ahmed: Could you publish this in a PPA or provide a .deb for Burkut to test with?
