Thank (Wslam)

If you have more than one glyph per position, how do you decide which you need? Probably there is some context defining that? This page explains all aspects of the Adobe Feature file that is used by glyphs to compile the features: _feature_file_syntax.html

I have adobe animate 2019 version and Adobe Flash CS6. I want to use my URDU font in Adobe Animate. Upon installing some TTF urdu fonts in my windows 8, the fonts are visible in the Flash and Animate software. But in Animate when i type, the letters are seperate. Please check two attachments.

But when I change anti-alias for animation to use device font, the letters combine togather. This means I can set use device font from anti-alias property list and then I can do typing easily and the letters are joining. by setting use device font from anti-alias property there is only one font style which displays on sscreen by default . I cannot change the font type and i cannot change the anti alias. If I change, the words split apart. Can anyone help me how can I type urdu text using different style of fonts in adobe animate ?

I can type urdu in adobe flash cs6. There are two text properties, classic and TLF. I can type in both classic and TLF mode. But In TLF mode after typing urdu text i cannot edit the txt or cannot add spaces in the text line.

but they still show up like this in firefox

while in Google chrome they look a little bit better than Firefox but still not actually as they should

I did try to search before posting here and all I was able to find were those ttf-urdufonts in the AUR but those don't seem to work. I did find other urdu fonts ttf-jameel-noori-nastaleeq which doesn't even install as the source is no longer working this is the error I get when I try to build the ttf-jameel-noori-nastaleeq fonts

Hi, I am using Gnome, and yes I have tried Jameel Noori Nastaleeq as well as ttf-urdufonts non of them seem to be working Idk what am I doing wrong but I even tried to change the fonts from the settings of firefox but still no effect.

It will copythe selected text and convert it into vector outline then it will calculatedistance between two shapes by decreasing the space upto the point where both shapesoutline will touch each other. For example the distance between shape 1 andshape 2 is 480 then software will minus 100 from the distance (assuming that wewant to maintain 100 points distance between all shapes) we will get (480-100) = 380.now software will round this figure into multiples of 50 because our kerningunit value was 50. By rounding 380 wewill get 400. It means we have to put 8 "negativespace" characters(400/50=8) to get exact optical kerning between those two shapes. Same processwill be applied on all shapes of selected text. In this way we will be able toget exact optical kerning.

we can also increase or decrease the desired kerning by changing our assumed distance (100)to multiple levels 50 or 150, 200 etc.

Can anyone can develop such sort of tool/script to get automatic kerning forurdu Arabic fonts? If anyone has a better idea to do this job exactly ?

The Urdu alphabet (Urdu: اردو حروفِ تہجی, romanized: urdū ḥurūf-i tahajjī) is the right-to-left alphabet used for writing Urdu. It is a modification of the Persian alphabet, which itself is derived from the Arabic script. It has official status in the republics of Pakistan, India and South Africa. The Urdu alphabet has up to 39[4] or 40[5] distinct letters with no distinct letter cases and is typically written in the calligraphic Nastaʿlīq script, whereas Arabic is more commonly written in the Naskh style.

Usually, bare transliterations of Urdu into the Latin alphabet (called Roman Urdu) omit many phonemic elements that have no equivalent in English or other languages commonly written in the Latin script.

The standard Urdu script is a modified version of the Perso-Arabic script and has its origins in the 13th century Iran. It is also related to Shahmukhi, used for the Punjabi language varieties in Punjab, Pakistan. It is closely related to the development of the Nastaʻliq style of Perso-Arabic script.

Despite the invention of the Urdu typewriter in 1911, Urdu newspapers continued to publish prints of handwritten scripts by calligraphers known as katibs or khush-navees until the late 1980s. The Pakistani national newspaper Daily Jang was the first Urdu newspaper to use Nastaʿlīq computer-based composition. There are efforts under way to develop more sophisticated and user-friendly Urdu support on computers and the internet. Nowadays, nearly all Urdu newspapers, magazines, journals, and periodicals are composed on computers with Urdu software programs.

Other than the Indian subcontinent, the Urdu script is also used by Pakistan's large diaspora, including in the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia and other places.[5]

Urdu is written in the Nastaliq style (Persian: نستعلیق Nastaʿlīq). The Nastaliq calligraphic writing style began as a Persian mixture of the Naskh and Ta'liq scripts. After the Muslim conquest of the Indian subcontinent, Nastaʻliq became the preferred writing style for Urdu. It is the dominant style in Pakistan and many Urdu writers elsewhere in the world use it. Nastaʿlīq is more cursive and flowing than its Naskh counterpart.

In the Arabic alphabet, and many others derived from it, letters are regarded as having two or three general forms each, based on their position in the word (though Arabic calligraphy can add a great deal of complexity). But the Nastaliq style in which Urdu is written uses more than three general forms for many letters, even in simple non-decorative documents.[6]

The Urdu script is an abjad script derived from the modern Persian script, which is itself a derivative of the Arabic script. As an abjad, the Urdu script only shows consonants and long vowels; short vowels can only be inferred by the consonants' relation to each other. While this type of script is convenient in Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew, whose consonant roots are the key of the sentence, Urdu is an Indo-European language, which requires more precision in vowel sound pronunciation, hence necessitating more memorisation. The number of letters in the Urdu alphabet is somewhat ambiguous and debated.[7]

Tāʼ marbūṭah is also sometimes considered the 40th letter of the Urdu alphabet, though it is rarely used except for in certain loan words from Arabic. Tāʼ marbūṭah is regarded as a form of tā, the Arabic version of Urdu tē, but it is not pronounced as such, and when replaced with an Urdu letter in naturalised loan words it is usually replaced with Gol hē.

Hamza can be difficult to recognise in Urdu handwriting and fonts designed to replicate it, closely resembling two dots above as featured in ت T and ق Qaf, whereas in Arabic and Geometric fonts it is more distinct and closely resembles the western form of the numeral 2 (two).

Urdu has more letters added to the Perso-Arabic base to represent sounds not present in Persian, which already has additional letters added to the Arabic base itself to represent sounds not present in Arabic. The letters added are shown in the table below:

A separate do-chashmi-he letter, ھ, exists to denote a /ʰ/ or a /ʱ/. This letter is mainly used as part of the multitude of digraphs, detailed in above sub-section. In addition to these letters, Shahmukhi adds 2 consonants on top of Urdu alphabet to write Punjabi, and Saraiki further adds 4 more consonants.

Old Hindustani used four dots ٿ ڐ ڙ over three Arabic letters ت د ر to represent retroflex consonants.[16] In handwriting those dots were often written as a small vertical line attached to a small triangle. Subsequently, this shape became identical to a small letter ط t̤oʼē.[17] It is commonly and erroneously assumed that ṭāʾ itself was used to indicate retroflex consonants because of it being an emphatic alveolar consonant that Arabic scribes thought approximated the Hindustani retroflexes.[citation needed] In modern Urdu, called to'e is always pronounced as a dental, not a retroflex. [citation needed]

The Urdu language has ten vowels and ten nasalized vowels. Each vowel has four forms depending on its position: initial, middle, final and isolated. Like in its parent Arabic alphabet, Urdu vowels are represented using a combination of digraphs and diacritics. Alif, Waw, Ye, He and their variants are used to represent vowels.
