Ok, I see the logic in that.

Christian, do you know how /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf should
be changed? Something like:

  <family>Nafees Nastaleeq</family> <!-- arabic (ur) -->
  <family>Nafees Web Naskh</family> <!-- arabic (ur) -->

??
Will that load the right font even if e.g. gnome-font-viewer thinks they
are both named "Nafees"?
Does the naming of the *.ttf files matter?
Would it be proper to have two arabic (ur) entries in
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf like that?

Sorry for being a pain. ;-)
