[tex-live] Problems with Nafees fonts

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hello,
I have problems with Nafees fonts in xelatex. The same problem occurs
in two Linux distros (CentOS 4 and CentOS 5) with TL 2010 as well as
TL 2011. I am not sure whether it is a TL specific or OS specific
problem (or my fault). I did the following:

1. unpacked the Nafees fonts to /usr/share/fonts/Nafees, ran fc-cache
as root, verified that the fonts work in gedit, OpenOffice.org and
<oXygen/>

2. used in xelatex, the error message is:
** ERROR ** Cannot proceed without the "native" font: NafeesNastaleeq
(Nafees Regular)...

3. copied the font to the working directory, renamed to urdu.ttf and
changed the font loading command to use urdu.ttf, now it works and the
PDF is correct

4. I thouhgt it may be a problem of a space in the font name, thus I
have renamed the font, reran fc-cache, validated that it still works
in gedit, but xelatex reports the same error

5. renamed urdu.ttf to "font urdu.ttf" (space in the file name),
modified the font loading command to use this file and it works fine

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

This is a sample document:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[a5,Landscape,margins=1in]{zwpagelayout}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra}
\usepackage{bidi}
\pagestyle{empty}
%\setmainfont[Script=Arabic]{Nafees Nastaleeq}
\setmainfont[Script=Arabic]{font urdu.ttf}
\parindent 0mm
\begin{document}
\linespread{2}
\centerline{\LARGE\RL{مرزا اسد اللہ بیگ خان غالب}}


\end{document}
