Bug#350121: tasksel: Proposed tasks for support of the Persian language
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.40
Severity: normal
An install of the desktop task in Persian currently leads to a GDM login
screen....without anything shown on the screen.
This is mostly because the needed fonts are not available to the system.
So, I hereby propose the attached minimal tasks for Persian.
