User Reviews

  • Excellent quality font with good coverage (even if there are still a few bugs with some diacritics, they are correctly managed). Coverage includes most modern Arabic styles ("horizontal" Naskh or Kufic, or "slanted" Nastaleeq typically used in classical Persian, Sindhi and Urdu, in traditional and Quranic texts), with the current exception of Unicode Arabic Extended-C, Arabic Mathematical symbols, and Rumi numerals (all three blocks in plane 1) still missing for now, and some Quranic annotation signs (still not positioned correctly).
  • Very good project
