@AMMoslehi yes brother, I am here, developer of Mehr Nastaliq web font
English

@TiroTypeworks @akufadhl @saadatm @OmarTypeFoundry this style called “Delhi/Dehlvi Naskh” the other name for this is "indo-pak Naskh"
Mughali naskh was old style and it looks like between the "uthmanic Naskh" and "Dehlvi Naskh"
English

@ZeeshanNasar @akufadhl @saadatm @OmarTypeFoundry Muhammed at @OmarTypeFoundry calls this style Delhi Naskh, presumably in reference to its development in the Moghul context, would that be a commonly recognised term for the style?

@akufadhl @saadatm @TiroTypeworks @OmarTypeFoundry thanks @saadatm . here I am sharing more samples.

My friend and colleague Hasan Abu Afash lives in Gaza. I have posted about him and his work from time to time, mostly to remind people that he is there, making fonts and vector artwork in terrible circumstances.
Today, I don’t know if he is still alive.

It is great honor for me that the our struggle for digitizing Urdu by developing Urdu Nastaliq fonts is acknowledged and featured in "Time" magazine.

@majidurrehman @fasi_zaka @zeerakahmed @rukhsanakartoos @matnsaz @Rekhta there is no difficulty in typing Urdu on windows. you first need to install Urdu language on your windows, than install a keyboard i.e. Mehr Phonetic keyboard from mehetype.com.

@fasi_zaka @zeerakahmed @rukhsanakartoos @matnsaz @ZeeshanNasar @Rekhta Any efforts to convince Microsoft to make Urdu phonetic keyboard? It's very difficult to type Urdu on windows' machines.

My work on Urdu technology, @matnsaz, was featured in Time! And to be profiled with others doing such amazing work, such as @ZeeshanNasar @Rekhta, it’s an absolute honor.

@KhaledGhetas do you know when Microsoft is shifting to harfBuzz?
English

@ZeeshanNasar I’m waiting for them to switch to HarfBuzz like they did with Photoshop and Illustrator already. My understanding is that Adobe is phasing out all of its OpenType implementations (they have/had more than one) and is consolidating everything on HarfBuzz.

يسعدني الإعلان عن مشروعي لإحياء الخط الكوفي المصحفي:
«رَقّ» — كوفي المصاحف الأولى
للحصول على الخط، والاطلاع على خصائصه، يمكن زيارة موقع الخط، حيث حاولت شرح مميزات الخط الرئيسية وبعض مما تعلمته عن الخط الكوفي المبكر أثناء المشروع:

@KhaledGhetas can you tell me what is table reading order of harfBuzz?

@KhaledGhetas I am unable to understand why InDesign engine is buggy, can you report to adobe team so that it could be fixed.
English

@ZeeshanNasar It works in most applications except InDesign, I’m afraid. It works in Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as web browsers, LibreOffice, etc. InDesign OpenType layout engine is buggy and unreliable.
