Most of them can be used for styling text in any Arabic-script language including Arabic, Persian (Farsi), Dari, Kurdish (Sorani), Punjabi, Pashto, Urdu, Kashmiri, Sindhi, and Uyghur. Below you can download free b nazanin font. Some of them are made by support from the local governments (Uthman, Nastaliq, Neirizi) and some others are made by individuals. I list them all in the near future in another post about commercial Arabic and Persian (Farsi) fonts, but here I introduce the available free fonts I find most useful. So most of the efforts in this field is done by a few companies (like Linotype, Monotype, and some others) outside the Middle East. The reason for that might be the fact that one cannot make any money by designing Arabic or Persian typefaces. The fonts here are true Arabic fonts ready to be used in any Arabic or Persian (Farsi) layout.Īs you might have noticed there are not that many companies making Arabic fonts. P.What I want to introduce here are not a bunch of links to some Arabic-looking “exotic” Latin-script fonts. If it's about the bold issue, Tahoma has bold weight, TDesktop is just not using it. But why use such inferior font when Tahoma is still better? They have been re-designed from Arial glyphs with a little Tahoma in mind.Īccording to the developer of TDesktop, now it is using Segoe UI as Arabic/Persian fallback font instead of Tahoma. That's why there are so ugly even in Windows 10. ![]() ![]() MS finally saw the mistakes in them and tried to fix them in Windows 8.1 by re-designing Arabic/Persian glyphs but again failed miserably. Bold didn't work, yes, but Tahoma has a bold weight, TDesktop is just not using it:īoth regular and bold are using Segoe UI correctly, but itallic version is still Tahoma.īeside this mix up, the problem with using Segoe UI as Arabic/Persian fallback font is that Windows 7 has 5.05 version of that font and the Arabic/Persian glyphs in that version are just copy-pasted from Arial. And the Bold text is using Tahoma regular. ![]() And its even worse in Arabic with heavy usage of ِ and َ and ُ and ً and ٌ and ٍĪnd funny thing is that regular text is using Segoe UI Bold. Windows 7 has Segoe UI version 5.05-Windows 10 has Segoe UI 5.28-Arabic/Persian glyphs in version 5.05 of the font are just copy-pasted from Arial which is an abomination of the Arabic/Persian script. As you can see the Regular font is now bold and is using Segoe UI in Windows 7. Well, finally I got a chance to test the new beta on my Windows 7 machine and it's even worse than Windows 10: ![]()
