Having problems with message search?
Sain Abdul Rahim Nizamani,
Thanks for your email, although it adds nothing to my information. Yes some fonts should have attraction to be adopted for some language but I wished that all Arabic-script fonts should display Saraiki characters too anyhow.
Could you please tell me any font which display all Arabic characters except to specific Urdu characters like "peyÙ¾Û”", "TeyÙ¹Û”", "cheyÚ†Û”", "DaalÚˆÛ”", "ReyÚ‘Û”" and "gaafÚ¯Û”"?
"We can create a list of all the fonts which support Seraiki at the moment."
That list should be made under following three headings:
(a) Fonts supporting Arabic-Script Characters [font name]
(b) Could display full range of Urdu characters [yes/no]
(c) Could display full range of Saraiki Characters [yes/no]
Best Regards-- G. Raza

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

AoA,
You can use PakType fonts, they support Siraiki characters. Also please let me know if you find any issue with these fonts:
