Dear Raza,
Not all Arabic fonts support Saraiki characters as well. Most of the fonts are language-specific, so they only support characters required by that language. Only few fonts support full Arabic range of Unicode, including the Paktype fonts.
So any one who wants to write Seraiki in computer, has to get one of those full-range fonts, or special Seraiki fonts which are available now.
We can create a list of all the fonts which support Seraiki at the moment.
Wassalam,
Abdul Rahim Nizamani

Sain Lateef Sagar Shaikh,
Thanks for reply. But I cannot tell you any specific issue with the fonts, you mentioned, as I dont have to type large scale text in Saraiki. If possible, please ask people connected with some Saraiki newspaper like Jhoke or some other journal being published in Saraiki to comment on these fonts after having practised them.
But my point was that any font either should dispaly all Arabic-script characters whatever the langauge these belong with or it should not display any Arabic-script character at all. I thnik every font that display characters of Arabic language, do also dispaly the typical characters of Persian and Urdu language, then why not of Saraiki langauge.
Best Regards- G. Raza
