Bug Description

Binary package hint: fontconfig

Dear Ubuntu fontconfig maintainer,

The original Uighur (Uyghur) Orthography file - ug.orth in fontconfig has bugs and I reported the bugs and provided a patch for it at fontconfig source/upstream. Now the bugs are fixed at source/upstream. Could you please import the newest fontconfig from upstream/source into Ubuntu? Thank you.

The Uighur orthography presently just copies Arabic, while it actually needs several additional letters.

Updated Uighur/Uyghur orth file

I am a Uyghur and a group of Uyghur computer professionals has developed a new [ ug.orth ] file. I just can not figure out how to submit the file yet.

This is the new Uyghur (Uighur) Orthographic Information File for the FontConfig developed by a group of Uyghur computer professionals. Please replace the old, incorrect UG.ORTH file in the library with this new, correct one. Thank you.

Was about to submit an Uyghur orth file since the current one gives misleading coverage. Any idea why this isn't on the tree yet, anything I can help with?
