Dear Connie, Yes, I agree that this is a great font, with lots of development efforts behind it. Unfortunately it does not support all Farsi Unicode glyphs (the old issues of ya without dots) and also short vowels aren't yet implemented correctly, at least in the version that I downloaded and tested a couple of weeks ago. For testing, I used a keyboard driver for fully vowelized Urdu that can be downloaded from: http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/downloads/keyboards/ > Urdu
Although I know (and understand) that there is some resistance in the Persian world against seemingly difficult-to-read fonts like Nastaliq, it would be nice if the promoters of this list could come to an agreement with www.crulp.org to extend their Nastaliq font's functionality to include support for Persian and other languages. This should not be too difficult, I guess... Best regards, Peter E.

Is there any for PC? If you find a PC, get the Nafees Nastaliq font here: http://www.crulp.org/ It's meant for Urdu, not Persian but it's worth your time to try it out. A real wonder of technology and so beautiful it will take your breath away!! They went and got a famous calligrapher to make the outlines then made it fully unicode-compliant. I think this font must surely be this year's BIG NEWS in typography. Simply lovely! -Connie _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
