Bug#427262: RFP: pyurduedit -- A simple text editor for the Urdu language
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Pyurduedit is a simple unicode text editor for Urdu language. The
purpose of this editor is to provide a solution that enables people to
write in Urdu.
We have heard so much about people who were recently converted to
linux that they had difficulty installing fonts, setting keyboard
layouts, options to switch, display, characters joining, etc. It is
possible to solve all these problems in any modern linux distro. but
PyUrduEdit solves the problem quickly and makes it delightful for
people to quickly start writing.
with out messing their XKB settings, or downloading fonts, or
installing keyboard layout for Urdu.
It also makes it possible for a user to change their keyboard layout
from pyurduedit itself. This means that they can add characters for
other regional dialects such as Sindhi, Punjabi, Pashto, etc.
There is another package, a font ttf-nafees that is required for
pyurduedit to display urdu characters properly. Pyurduedit works
without it but ttf-nafees makes it prettier (ttf-nafees is already in
debian stable).
