Comment 12 for bug 1153188

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 NafeesNastaliq.

Actually we were looking for NafeesNastaleeq.ttf , if fallback option
available: NafeesWeb.ttf (Nafees Regular) will be good. (Please, Shabbir
let us know if you would other way.)

I am not familiar with fonts, but the new included font,
NafeesNastaleeq.ttf file, does not have a name. As it seems in
gnome-font-viewer. I couldn't find in the font list. Is it a problem in
this font?
