  Just completed packaging of Urdu Arabic script fonts from CRULP for Fedora. Good news is now Fedora has fonts for Nastaleeq script as well.
  Following is its view with Harfbuzz NG
  Looks good to me, might be person belonging to Arabic script can comment more on same.

nice, just tested it, but there's a problem with it, some letters are disconnected, see: http://taljurf.fedorapeople.org/Scratch/nafeesfont.png
the one under it is sans

i don't think you're responsible for that problem :)
