Download Free Arabic Fonts For Mac Os X

[Ayelén Muller]

I'm a reformed font addict. Since January 1st, I've been on a mission to remove fonts from my system that I don't like or know I won't ever use. They not only take up space but when I need to make interesting graphics (I do social media for clients) I have too many too look through to make good choices.


Can someone tell me why I have literally hundreds of Arabic fonts, I can assure you I didn't download them. But what is most interesting is that most of them I cannot delete at all, the option is grayed out.

additionally FontBook may not be flexible when you are working with hundreds of typefaces and their fonts and a 3rd party solution may allow your system may benefit from a dedicated font management system optimized for larger font libraries.


Thanks Jimmy. Do you have any 3rd party suggestions? It's just odd to me that they don't allow me to remove fonts in different languages, when I only speak English and I'm virtually 100% sure I will not need Chinese fonts anytime soon. I can't imagine why that is.


I'm sure you (and Apple for that matter) understand that when I'm going for a few interesting fonts to use together my job is a LOT more difficult when I have to scoll thru 1000's of fonts many of them, in various funky languages.


I've made all the designers I support downgrade to FB but I we manage by client or job so it's easier to navigate, disable or enable sets, as a result the applications are faster loading and working with fonts - as a rule I do not disable those "non english" fonts as you may not need them but the system may use them for a number of reasons, web pages for one.


its been a month that i am using arch...great distro but im stuck with default Persian/Arabic fonts and its pretty hard to read it...and documentations didnt provide much useful information(just generate the locale)...anyone knows how to fix it?


I want to use Arabic fonts in the drawings; however the letters are shown as seperated. I changed the region and language settings in Windows to Arabic. This solution fixed Arabic letters for Microsoft Word but it didnt have any effect on Creo. How can I align Region and Language settings of Windows with Creo settings?


i urgently need for my studies arabic fonts support on my arch system.

since browsing arabic web sites and composing emails in arabic with mozilla is no problem, i suppose arabic fonts are already installed. but what i have to do that they work with other applications - especially with abiword and aterm?






i have no experience with arabic fonts, but if you have a font installed, that has arabic chars, you have then only to make sure, you can input arabic (in kde switch keyboard to some country that uses arabic) .... wait a min .. i have to google for more infos ...


i already googled without success - may be i used the wrong key words but the once solution i found was yast related and as far as i know from my suse time arabic fonts or chars are already enabled on suse


Just to confirm, but as someone who has had experience with displaying Arabic on Linux, the bitstream vera fonts have the necessary glyphs. The ms-ttf-fonts are also good (thini arial and times new roman).


Anyone who's ever studied Arabic and attempted to increase their exposure to the language through the internet will have encountered this problem: Arabic fonts are always two or three sizes smaller than their English/Roman alphabet equivalent. This can make navigating the web a dispiriting experience. Most big websites take a lot of time and effort to get their browsing experience just right, with fonts that are appropriately scaled and optimised for reading. (Get a sense of how much thought goes into typefaces here, for example, at the New York Times.)


So why does this happen? At first I thought it was just a case of Arabic fonts being very much a sideshow in the what-doesn't-everyone-else-speak-english show that encompasses so much of Silicon Valley's design mentality. The most-used products are generally designed for an English-speaking audience, with people writing from left-to-right. Apple and Android's operating systems both work and function much better / logically when set to a Roman alphabet / layout. I happen to have my phones and computers set to an Arabic alphabet, and it's blindingly obvious that less thought went into designing the experience for such Arabic-speaking users. (For a more detailed explanation of some of the deficiencies of Arabic fonts, read this and this.)


Coming back to fonts, the real reason for why this happens has to do with the amount of vertical space that letters take up. Thomas Phinney of FontLab explained it clearly over on Quora when he wrote:


I installed cutefish(it's a desktop environment), it created a file /.config/fontconfig/conf.d/99-cutefish.conf and this file can change the behavior of your fonts as described here: _configuration/Examples


I am trying to design a flyer in Arabic and I can't get any of the Arabic fonts to display in inDesign. Adobe Arabic appears as English in both the font list and in my document (even though it looks like Arabic on the Adobe's font page where I activated it). Other fonts like Beruit look like Arabic in my font list dialog box but appear as pink squares (missing fonts) in my document. I have used Arabic before on my iMac. I am running v16.1 of inDesign and v10.15.7 of Mac OS Catalina. Any ideas? I have installed an Arabic as a language on my keyboard but that didn't do anything. I have a word doc with Arabic text that the client supplied, which shows up correctly in Word but I can't do anything with it in inDesign. I have a client who is willing to help me type in the text (not my preference). I am hoping to copy and paste the Arabic content from Word into inDesign and then format it. Any ideas why I can't get any Arabic fonts to display within inDesign? I can't find any language preferences in Creative Cloud (which a google search said required activation). Thanks in advance for any help.


It doesn't work in any inDesign documents I currently have or a new document. I can't fine Adobe Arabic in the list of Word fonts when I am in a Word document but if I select any fonts that are not English in the list in Word they do not actually change my font and a pink scribble line appears underneath. I haven't tried in Illustator or Photoshop but I doubt it will work. I really only care about getting the Arabic text to work within inDesign as that is the program I need to use to create the flyer for the client.


I just found out that there is no generator for Arabic fonts, because of the issue of connecting the letters... Does that mean that the only choice I have is to get it from fonts.com? Does anyone know of a place were I can get good quality arabic fonts to use for my website?


What do you mean with Arabic fonts? Most "normal" fonts we use every day will work just fine in CSS. Do make sure to set the RTL properties though, where needed. After all, you don't want Arabic people to read left-to-right, do you? :-)


Please I am from an Arab country most of my work is based on Arabic Fonts (Right to Left fonts) so I find a difficulty in Affinity Designer because it doesn't support tight to left fonts. I have to right it in Adobe illustrator export it as a png then import to to my Affinity Designer project as a png image. You see how it is difficult!


There are two things to note here: 1st You need to make sure that the font you embeed in your template accually supports Arabic and 2nd: That you embedd also the arabic glyphs. Then it works like a charm.


My arabic templates are all copyright protected, so I should not give them out. But I can guide you a bit: If you right click in Animates library pane you can create a new Font. Then a dialog opens where you can select the font and style to embedd:


Arabic fonts tend to appear smaller than Latin fonts because of the vertical space taken up by diacratics. This is especially noticeable when typesetting the Quran, which has much more of these than Standard Arabic. My question is, should I scale up the font, by say, about 1.2 or 1.4, in order to account for this? Or is this a bad design decision? What font size do Arabic books usually use?


Even within Latin fonts there is a wide variation in x-height. You also have to account for bolding, stretching, letter spacing l and other effects. CSS even has font-size-adjust and size- adjust for this purpose.


Arabic fonts are unfortunately not relative to Latin fonts in size; when choosing a specific font size, then Latin fonts are definitively much larger. When regular browsers set a browser font which is readable in English, will be too small to read in Arabic even if font size is chosen same. It would be awesome if brave could automatically detect arabic fonts and resize them to be relative to latin fonts.


There are few other beautiful fonts listed in Tanzil project. AFAIK, they don't cover completely the Arabic blocks in Unicode or have bad alignment with Latin script because some aim for Quran or pure Arabic text only not for mixed scripts.


In Arabic, text is justified by adding Kashidas. Kashidas are added to arabic characters to lengthen them. Whitespace is not modified. Use automatic Kashida insertion to justify paragraphs of arabic text.


However, some Open Type fonts include more ornate, optional ligatures, which can be produced when you choose Discretionary Ligatures. These ligatures are found at Character panel > OpenType > Discretionary Ligatures.


In the Arabic script, a diacritic or a diacritical mark is a glyph used to indicate consonant length or short vowels. A diacritical mark is placed above or below the script. For better styling of text, or improved readability of certain fonts, you can control the vertical or horizontal position of diacritical marks:
