Re: [siraikicomputing] Re: Q

Sain Lateef Sagar Shaikh,

WaAlaikum Salam,

I am really happy to read your this reply. 

We cannot force font developers, of course, but we can really request them.

Best Regards- G. Raza

Dear Raza,
AoA,

I think with the passage of time at least Microsoft system fonts will support Siraiki and other new Arabic script characters of Unicode 5.1 and above, but as Nizamani sahab said, there is no way to force font developers to support the complete block.

I am a big fan of fonts for complete Arabic script, but people in big corporations and institutes do not understand that once you create a font for a specific Arabic script language, then by just adding 20% more effort you can support all other characters.

I'll try to contact Siraiki publshers that you've mentioned for letting me know of any errors.

Regards,
 
Lateef Sagar Shaikh
