Summary : Awami Nastaliq, a Nastaliq-style Arabic script font family
URL : https://software.sil.org/awami/
License : OFL
Description : Awami Nastaliq is a Nastaliq-style Arabic script font family supporting a wide
: variety of languages of southwest Asia, including but not limited to Urdu. This
: font is aimed at minority language support. This makes it unique among Nastaliq
: fonts.
:
: Nastaliq, based on a centuries-old calligraphic tradition, is considered one of
: the most beautiful scripts on the planet. Nastaliq has been called “the bride
: of calligraphy” but its complexity also makes it one of the most difficult
: scripts to render using a computer font. Its right-to-left direction, vertical
: nature, and context-specific shaping provide a challenge to any font rendering
: engine and make it much more difficult to render than the flat (Naskh) Arabic
: script that it is based on. As a result, font developers have long struggled to
: produce a font with the correct shaping but at the same time avoid overlapping
: of dots and diacritics. In order to account for the seemingly infinite
: variations, the Graphite rendering engine has been extended just to handle
: these complexities properly.
