Is it about font designing software to help me in my Urdu font project? I want to design a free Urdu font to raise the literacy level of my country. I would like it to be distributed as widely as possible far and wide in my country and all over the world. The next step would be development of software applications in Urdu - possibly modifying Scribus to support Urdu or writing one of my own. Another possible project is a high-quality Urdu Translator. Since I plan to do it all in my free time, all of this is not going to happen any time soon - it will certainly take a lot of time. My first foray would be into FontForge and I'll also grab a couple of good books. Thanks for the link. Best regards, -Asif
