            Bug ID: 29953
           Summary: Map "font-family: cursive" to platform Nastaliq font
           Product: CSS
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

  Target Milestone: ---

After seeing https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/206791/ I thought it would be
good idea to encourage browser vendors to also map "font-family: cursive" to a
Nastaliq font [if not defining a dedicated name to Nastaliq family of fonts].

Some initial possible mapping, just to illustrate eventual possible effect of
the document change, using fonts available one the platforms:

* "Urdu Typesetting" to "cursive" on Windows 8 > on browsers on Windows for
Urdu.
* "Noto Urdu Nastaliq" to "cursive" on Android, [Linux and iOS?] for Urdu.

And if it is possible to map generic font name to a not platform font but
generally available one,
* "IranNastaliq" to "cursive" on all platform.
