It appears that no additional letters are required for these languages. All of the fonts on this page will, at a minimum, support Persian/Farsi.Īll of these languages have used Persian script, the Cyrillic alphabet, and the Latin alphabet at some point.ĭepending on geographic location, Persian script with added letters is still used.Īssume the fonts shown here do not support a given language unless it is specifically noted along with Arabic script in the Support line. The Persian/Farsi language is used in parts of Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and a large number of other countries. Refer to SIL's " Replacing your Uniscribe dll" page.Īssume the fonts shown here do not support the Arabic Supplement block unless it is noted in the font's "Support" line. On Windows, a new version of the Uniscribe engine (usp10.dll) is required for the Arabic Supplement letters to join properly. Unicode version 4.1.0 added the Arabic Supplement block (U+0750 - U+077F) which contains additional, extended Arabic letters mainly for languages used in Northern and Western Africa (such as Fulfulde, Hausa, Songhoy and Wolof). Likewise, explicit ligatures are also encoded in the PRESENTATION blocks. For compatibility with existing standards, Unicode also defined codepoints with explicit positions for most letters (ARABIC PRESENTATION FORMS-A & -B), although use of these characters is discouraged. It is up to the font to show the letter with the proper appearance. Arabic codepoints in the U+0600 - U+06FF range represent all of the letters without regard to their position. Since Arabic script is cursive, the appearance of a letter changes depending on its context/position: isolated, initial (joined on the left), medial (joined on both sides), and final (joined on the right). Numerals vary by language and Unicode has set aside two ranges for Arabic script numbers: "Arabic-Indic digits" (U+0660 - U+0669) for use with the Arabic language and "Eastern Arabic-Indic digits" (U+06F0 - U+06F9) for use with all other languages that employ Arabic script.

It has been adapted to write many additional languages. Persian script is an adaptation of Arabic script. Download the fonts by clicking on “Download”.WAZU JAPAN's Gallery of Unicode Fonts Persian.

Many of them are made by help from the local governments (Uthman, Nastaliq, Neirizi), and individuals make many others. I will mention them all in another post about commercial Arabic and Persian (Farsi) fonts shortly, but here I will present the current free fonts that I find most useful. But most attempts in this area are made by a few companies outside the Middle East (like Linotype, Monotype, and a few others). The explanation for that may be that by designing Arabic or Persian typefaces, one cannot make any money. The fonts here are genuine Arabic fonts fit for use in any Arabic or Persian style (Farsi).Īs you might have found, there are not so many companies that produce Arabic fonts. All I want to add here is not a bunch of ties to any “exotic” Latin-script fonts with an Arabic feel.
