Dear All,

In 1980 Mr. Ahmad Mirza Jamil developed a ligature based Nastaleeq writing system. He has written about 18,000 valid ligatures of Urdu and developed a Noori Nastaliq font.

Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP) is releasing a soft copy of these ligatures in Unicode format. CRULP has extensively used these ligatures for testing the fonts developed at the center and realised that it will be a valuable resource for other font developers. These ligatures are grouped in 2 to 8 characters and are sorted in the end character order. The ligatures can be downloaded from www.crulp.org.

Reference: "Noori Nastaliq computerised Urdu calligraphy (list of ligatures)," calligraphically designed and compiled by Ahmad Mirza Jamil, Elite Press, Karachi.

Best regards,

Sarmad
