I don't know much about fonts either. ;-) Anyway, I did some research.

"Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" seems to be the name of a specific font:
http://tabish.freeshell.org/u-font/

Unless that font is interesting, we know at least that "Urdu Nastaliq Unicode" should be replaced in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-nonlatin.conf with something else.

For me gnome-font-viewer finds both the Nafees fonts from the package in my PPA; it's just that it thinks that both are named "Nafees" only (see the nafees1.png attachment). If I click the one with the non-latin characters and then click "Info", I get a dialog that confirms that it's "Nafees Nastaleeq" (the nafees2.png attachment).
