Awami Nastaliq is a Nastaliq-style Arabic script font 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.
This is an unreleased development effort currently focused on the following goals:
- Implement shaping behavior and collision avoidance using SIL Graphite technology.
- Build the font using SMITH toolchain.
See the FONTLOG.txt for information on this and previous releases.
Font compression does not yet work on OSX. We have had to release an uncompressed Graphite font in order for the font to render in XeTeX/XeLaTeX on OSX.
Awami Nastaliq is licensed under the SIL Open Font License. See OFL.txt and OFL-FAQ.txt for details.
For further information about this font, including Unicode ranges supported, Graphite and OpenType font features and how to use them, and licensing, please see the documentation on the website or in the documentation subfolder of this font package.
